Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate the Minister's personal opinion on it, but I wonder if the Minister could advise on her response as Minister. Mr. Speaker, I could advise you that I have met with one of the workers who has advised me that the workload in Yellowknife is becoming absolutely unbearable. I understand that they have about 180 cases in the City of Yellowknife alone, which amounts to the same number of cases that they have in Nunavut. Yellowknife is becoming a huge magnet community and because of the specialist services available and many other reasons, the workload is ending up in Yellowknife and the workers have expressed their frustration and their lack of ability to cater to the children in need and families in need. They are not able to do any counselling; all they can do is emergency intervention. Obviously, there is a need for direction here. I want to know if the Minister has any plan for that? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
