I'm not quite sure what the confusion is about. It seems very, very straightforward to me what the standing committee is asking for here. We have been quite consistent and have been quite strong with this and it is going to be a big issue during the next budget session.
Basically, what we are saying is, one, we fully support the government's zero tolerance to violence policy, but we want to see some teeth in it and we want to see something concrete and tangible in the next budget. If that costs money, that costs money. The second thing we are saying is we think the only real, long-term way to deal with many of the social problems of the Northwest Territories is to intervene with kids, intervene with the young and intervene quite aggressively. We think those two issues are very important and we want the government to make those two issues priorities of the government in the next year.
The wellness strategy, the anti-violence strategy, we are actually giving recommendations which are fine-tuning your very own policies and your very own philosophies. I don't see that there is any confusion here. I don't see that there should be any problem with it at all. The Premier talks about bringing it down to the community level; we don't have a problem with that. That is obviously, ultimately, how the issues have to be addressed, at the community level. You address them at the community level, but we want to see violence addressed and early intervention with youth addressed.
The other recommendation to the Ministers of Education and Social Services is to at least try, in a couple of regions, a model of the school-based system. There may be other models. What we are saying, though, is that this one has proved itself, so let's try it. It is one tool of many. The committee doesn't see any confusion and it shouldn't cause any problem, whatsoever, for the government. We were very careful about how we did this and how we brought it forward. So, we are very strongly supporting this and looking for tangible results in the budget session. That is why these recommendations are being made now, so that there is fair warning to the government that this is the direction we want to see the government go. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
