Yes, thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I'm not disputing the comments of the Member with respect to the value of the Tl'oondih program: Their treatment from a family versus an individual perspective; the fact that it creates employment and generally benefits participants through the program. As I indicated to the Member on several occasions, we have provided funding to them to date and we continue to provide funding to them. We are also looking at ways to try to increase some of the funding that would be available to them from other avenues. For example, our officials are coordinating a meeting between operators of the Tl'oondih operation and the medical community to try to make medical referrals accessible to clients so they can benefit from some additional clientele being paid through the medical referral avenues that were used. So we are attempting to work with the operators of the Tl'oondih operation to assist them in enhancing their funding. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
