Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I, too, would like to know exactly what funds are being allocated to the Inuvik Regional Health Board and where it is being spent. From my knowledge to date, the Tl'oondih Healing Society has not received any monies from the Inuvik Regional Health Board. The direction I decided to take along with the government, is that they will be allowed to access funds through the Inuvik Regional Health Board through proposals being put forth and so on, but yet to date, they have not received any funding from the Inuvik Regional Health Board, yet that is the agency in Fort McPherson which delivers the Mental Health Program. If they are capable of developing and delivering the Mental Health Program, why are they inadequate to deliver programs to allow them to assist the residents in Fort McPherson in dealing with the alcohol, drug and related incidences that they feel are critical to work on at this time? I would like to get that cleared up. We fund these institutions, yet we do not see the funds flowing into the communities where we are saying the problems are. It seems like they are locked up at the Inuvik Regional Office. I would like to know exactly why is there such a restrictive process and why is that money not being accessed by the communities?
