Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Social Services, Mr. Kelvin Ng. In relation to my opening statement, the whole question about alcohol and drug counsellors and training for those counsellors in the communities, so that once we do take on more authority in relation to the community transfer initiatives by his department, which he is calling the community wellness, and also in regards to the healing process that a lot of our communities are presently in.
In the case of Fort McPherson, Mr. Speaker, several individuals who were associated with Tl'oondih Healing Society have taken the challenge of going to Hay River in regards to the Dene Cultural Institute to program for alcohol and drug counselling diploma program have made the adjustment to take on that authority with eventually coming home and working along with the Tl'oondih Healing Society to assist the community in the healing process it is presently going through. Mr. Speaker, my question to the Minister is: do they have adequate resources for training dollars so when the communities do take on these responsibilities, they will have resources to have people trained and able to take these things on in a fashion that will meet the success of that program?
