Roy Erasmus Yellowknife North

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. On page 6-14, contributions to boards and management, child welfare. There was an indication I would have some information as to how the boards were informed about exceptions to the families of foster children receiving renumeration for looking after them. There was an indication that the information I would receive would include such things as the time of day and things like that. Could that information also include the names of the persons who were informed and whether they were informed by phone or person-to-person? Mr. Chairman, perhaps it would be a little more easier on the staff if they would simply send a memo out to everybody who works in this area, not everybody of course, but to each of the areas, the boards. Simply send them a memo and indicate they are willing to take exceptions or allow exceptions and what factors or situations they would allow for those exceptions. That is all I want, Mr. Chairman, is for all the boards and the people working in this area to have the same information. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we will try to ascertain whether or not that has taken place, the issue of the written memo. If not, we certainly will carry that out to the boards, so they can pass that information on to all the child care workers throughout the territories. Thank you.
