Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a return to an oral question asked today by Mr. Koe dealing with the victims' assistance progam in Inuvik. A letter was sent by the former Minister of Social Services, Mrs. Marie-Jewell, on November 12, 1991, to the president of the Society of Friends Against Family Violence, indicating that the full proposal had not been received from the society but the proposal would be reviewed once submitted by the family violence prevention program with the Department of Social Services. The response of November 12, 1991, still applies. The department is awaiting the complete proposal so that a review can be done and suggestions can be provided regarding shelter development in Inuvik. Thank you.
