Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The question is a good question because we do not expect the Department of Social Services to do this monitoring. I think the monitoring will be incumbent on the groups that have accepted the agreement with the Government of the NWT to deliver the program. It is anticipated that the groups themselves will do the monitoring. This Minister and this department will not accept anonymous tips, anonymous phone calls. If anybody is considered to be in violation of the sobriety clause after having signed it or after their group has signed it, then they should be willing to stand up and put their name to that. I think it will be incumbent on the groups themselves to ensure that the staff that are working there abide by the intent of the guidelines set before them.
