Yes, thank you Mr. Speaker. The answer to that question is yes, we will. I do not have information in front of me right now to indicate what kind of financial support we do provide to organizations who work with people in the communities who have disabilities, but I will say, that we certainly do appreciate the work of the NGOs. We consider them to be extremely significant partners in the work that needs to be done. The government alone cannot be everywhere, and although we have a lot of front-line workers who are employed by our department, the contribution of the volunteers and the NGOs in the community is extremely important. Yes, that would be part of what we are looking at.
I also want to mention that, in follow up to the needs survey, the Northwest Territories Council for Disabled Persons will also hold a follow up disabilities conference in January 2001. This will bring together people with disabilities, family members, front-line workers and the deliberations at this conference will also assist us, along with the results of the survey, in addressing the need for an action plan and next steps. Thank you.
