Mr. Ng.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I will take it that if the Tl'oondih Healing Camp was well supported by communities in the region and throughout the Northwest Territories as a result of the effectiveness of their programs and then they had those financial resources within their communities to send people to the Tl'oondih Healing Camp and that is where I would see the support for this type of initiative, Mr. Speaker, thank you.

Thank you. Oral questions, Mr. Krutko, final supplementary.

Mr. Ng.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I have indicated before in this House, we have been more than flexible, I think, in providing a three hundred thousand dollar contribution towards payments for services and in trying to make the extended health benefits program more flexible to allow individuals to be financed for treatment through the Tl'oondih Healing Camp from those funds, Mr. Speaker. So, I think, we have tried to accommodate the Tl'oondih Healing Camp as much as we can and will continue to support them as much as possible given the financial restrictions that we have on our funding, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.

Thank you, oral questions. Mr. Picco.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it has been a concern in our region with the lack of probation officers. My question is for the Minister of Health and Social Services and Justice.

Will he be addressing this problem in the near future? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

The Minister of Justice, Mr. Ng.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as many of us know, right now social workers with the Department of Health and Social Services, undertake community supervision and the probation supervision of individuals in our communities. What we have been able to do Mr. Speaker is that the Department of Justice has been able to secure funds for next year of approximately one and a half million dollars to be directed directly into community supervision so that we can free up social workers to do the child care focus that they should be focusing on over the course of their duties, Mr. Speaker, and to allow communities and other organizations to get into that supervision area. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you. The time for oral questions is now over.
