Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, first of all, the department did not unilaterally cut any positions. Those positions were transferred to Inuvik Regional Health and Social Services Board in amalgamations across the whole territories effective April 1st. The funding for the mental health program was transferred intact to the regional authorities and I am not particularly sure of the particular circumstances surrounding the Inuvik board's decision on how they have dealt with the mental health worker program. I have asked and made enquiries, but to date I have not heard back on those enquiries, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
