Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Social Services. I think he is probably missed me over the summer, he has not had a question from me all summer. The question is in regards to Tl'oondih Healing Society which to date there was a motion passed and the committee of the whole which instructed the Minister and the executive to start negotiations immediately with the Gwich'in Healing Society to bring them in line with other programs which are presently developed in the Northwest Territories and elsewhere. To date, nothing has been done, and also I would like to make him aware that there have been other initiatives that the Gwich'in Healing Society has taken to assist clients once they complete the program, which is an agreement that was signed this summer between the Human Resources Development Canada to develop an after care program to help individuals in acquiring skills and participation of labour market, and making the transaction from welfare to become independent and basically develop personal growth and also find employment.

Yet to date this government has not helped out in any way, shape, or form, to assist us in trying to meet requirements to be able to compete against other institutions in the north who receive core funding. For us to deliver a program through our program and from what we are getting from the government works out to about $75 per person with a cost to the tribal council of $280 after the cost of building in the operation of the camp and other expenditures that come along with it. So you work out the average of cost at that, we are losing money.

So, my question to the Minister is, is that from the motion that was passes in committee of the whole, what has he done in regards to that motion and where will you go with it?
