Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, in respect to the issue the honourable Member raises about school enrolments, of course, the Department of Education does ongoing reviews with the boards on their enrolment numbers. They make proportionate redistribution of existing funds based on past year school enrolments. I understand the Minister of Education will be able to speak more to that detail when he comes.
We do not have that type of flexibility or mechanism within the Department of Health and Social Services. We do recognize there is a lot of excellent work and support provided by a lot of non-profit community groups and agencies that operate services on behalf of those requiring assistance, particularly, here in Yellowknife. Yellowknife is fortunate. The honourable Member does make a good point that there are people who come to Yellowknife for various reasons and end up staying here, whether on a short-term or extended basis.
There are a lot more support mechanisms and groups in Yellowknife, certainly than there are in other communities in the Northwest Territories. It is unfortunate, but in a lot of our communities, some do not even have family violence shelters, if you use that as an example. It is a result of not having adequate resources or the support mechanisms that generate those types of resources. It is an issue that we are aware of. It is a difficult one to deal with, in respect of when we have limited resources, existing programs that we have to support. There is no new money to address this need. If there are requirements that require financial resources, it is a matter of where anyone would suggest that we reallocate resources to address immediate needs. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
