Mr. Chairman, the people involved in trying to manage the needs of the children would have discussions with the extended family. There has to be a judgement made as to whether that extended family is capable or if there would be undue hardship if they were asked to bear the cost of time, energy and money to support these people. In addition to that and maybe the most practical thing to do if we were to try to meet the needs of a child who might be caught up in something here, is if the Member could, at some other venue, give me some details and we can look into it. But I believe we have communicated to people our willingness to take a practical view, to be flexible and ensure we keep the best interests of children in need, front and centre with us. Thank you.
