Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the issue was raised prior to the reductions coming into place. I had an opportunity to meet with some of the Foster Parents in the Yellowknife area who conveyed to me their concerns about the reductions that we were planning to put into place. I have made a commitment, our staff are working with the Foster Parent Association right now to analyze the reductions that are being proposed, to work with them to try to come out with an arrangement, hopefully, that will meet our needs as far as obtaining some reductions throughout the Foster Care payments that we expend and trying to meet their needs and not drastically impacting their rates so they can continue on providing this valuable service to us, Mr. Speaker.
