Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will be going one-on-one with the deputy on Thursday morning. I think this issue of child welfare is a critical one to every constituency, to everybody in this Assembly and to every family and every child in the Northwest Territories. It would be a benefit if you could indicate, not just to me, but to this House, what structure is in place so there is no special dedicated section or body of people dealing with child welfare. Obviously you must have some jobs that have a child welfare component in their duties and functions that can provide support. Social workers or people, when they listen to this debate, can know that when they pick up the phone and phone Yellowknife that, in fact, there is going to be someone there who has experience in the field who has the qualifications and can respond to specific issues. Thank you.
