Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Health and Social Services, Mr. Ng, in relation to the cuts that have been taking place in the Inuvik region and are still taking place, especially in relation to the mental health workers. My question is regarding the funding that is still being spent in southern institutions in the neighbourhood of $890,000 which was spent in 1996/97. Yet we do not seem to have the resources for communities for mental health workers in relation to assisting communities to ensure that they have healthy individuals and that they do not have to deal with the high cost of having to send people out and deal with these problems locally. I would like to ask the Minister, will he reinstate the communities that need mental health workers, demand those mental health workers at this time?
