Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker the families that do take in children, especially special needs children under Foster Care is very important asset to this government, and to the people and to the communities of the Northwest Territories. Mr. Speaker, I understand that because of the reduction some families now have had second thoughts. Maybe the Minister could inform this House exactly what the status of the number of families now that have actually withdrawn their services since the reduction, if any, of the Foster Care rates and maybe an indication from the Minister what or how many intentions from these families about reducing or withdrawing their services because of the reduction. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
