Mr. Speaker, it has always been my view that the first and most fundamental initiative that we have taken with zero tolerance is the verbal, personal commitment made by each of us individually as elected official, as elected leaders, as people set in responsibility by the public -- that means every mayor, every counsellor in this territory, it means every chief, every band counsellor, every Metis leader, every president of a metis local and all the members, it means every elected person -- as this country should make the commitment. Once we have that basic tenet, we know by nature that a great number of offences will begin to drop, as the size of the public that have made the commitment starts to grow.

We have to build on that. It is up to the community organizations, the women's groups, the advocate groups, to tell us the community wellness strategy, where the priorities are in placing the dwindling available funds to do work in a social front, which includes the commitments we will make to zero tolerance. We have increasingly less money to do the work and it's up to this government, in partnership with these groups, to decide where our scarce dollars should go. Thank you.
