Mr. Speaker, I am not personally aware of the funding structure for the workers in the field. I do know that funding is given to a board to manage, and I think that they take all things into consideration. However, I can keep the question in mind when I do meet with the various groups to see what the concerns are, related to their pay levels. I will endeavour to do that. As the Government Leader said, I will be visiting, as time allows, the area people to discuss the matter of the delivery of alcohol and substance abuse programs, as such abuse is a big problem in the Territories.

I was looking at some figures, and they indicate that we spend $100 per capita for all the people in the NWT in just that one area. It is a substantial amount, and the question is well put. I will endeavour to ensure that the people that are delivering the service are looked at properly.
