Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, typically, proof of residence is acquired through an NWT health care card or through the demonstration that a person has a job here. That doesn't mean that people are out on the street if they can't demonstrate those things. The department is very careful to make sure that nobody is going hungry or being forced to sleep on the street, but full services of the department are available only to residents, as it says in our regulations.
