This funding came from the youth initiative program. I would like to know if these were initiatives that were requested by the youth.

I'm not aware of who the proponents of those initiatives were, Mr. Chairman, I would have to ask Mr. Nerysoo. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The requests for the projects came from the communities. All the projects that are being proposed are the result of communities, and the design of the projects are the result of the community advice.
The project and the dollars that are associated are tied to those individuals who are employable. In other words, it's not going to be very much for those that are the older communities because they are the ones who are not eligible right now for retraining. It's the young people who generally are on social assistance who are capable of retraining. So in that context, able as well to attend school. So that's the component to which these particular projects are associated at this time.

Mr. Chairman, I get the feeling that we are going to move from Health and Social Services, and just before we do I would like to answer the question that was asked earlier about the operations of the group home in Hay River. There has been no contract entered into, as yet, Mr. Chairman. In the interim, the children will be taken care of through foster care. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

The Minister responded about the group home in Hay River. I just wanted to ask, Mr. Chairman, if the department is intending on following up the recommendations
made by Mr. Cooper?

Mr. Chairman, the department is looking at those recommendations and also looking at the facility and the kind of operation that would be most suitable. The decision about tendering for the operation of the home will be made earlier in the new calendar year, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.

Well, Mr. Chairman, I know that the existing facility isn't that bad, but my whole point is that the recommendation strongly suggests that because the group homes affect more aboriginal people than non-aboriginal, that the government consider having the operation run by aboriginal people. I just want to make that point. Not only that, I want to go beyond that and suggest to the Department of Health and Social Services, Mr. Chairman, that we look for alternatives to what exists now in other major centres. Most are in major centres and I think, because they are aboriginal children, we should start looking more at smaller, traditional communities too. Thank you.
