Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I believe there are quite a number of contributing factors to the stress which the social workers and child protection workers find themselves under.

There is the actual volume of calls that are coming in. These calls, I believe...I should not quote the number, but I know the Members would be very surprised at the actual volume of calls across the North they are called upon to respond to.

When we do receive these calls, it may be necessary in the future to have some way of prioritizing these calls so they can deal first and foremost with the most urgent and the most critical ones. That might be of some help.

The other thing is that once social workers are dealing with a family that is in crisis and children who are at risk and it is necessary to respond, quite often the resources they need are not there so that they can in confidence place these children in placements in homes that have been screened, that have been approved where parents may have received training. I think these are all things that could be looked at as adding additional resources to the network, to the system that is available to social workers as they deal with these critical issues. These things are all issues that we are looking at. Thank you.
