Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is great to send people to the closest detachment, but I see we are still sending people to Edmonton and High Level which is, I believe, south of us in Alberta which is the next jurisdiction next to the United States. In regard to his comments that the closest place possible which the cost of sending these individuals to southern institutions is in the range of $11,000 per individual. I would like the Minister to tell me exactly why is this practise continuing, yet we can offer the same service in the Inuvik region?
