Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Indeed, the Member is right. This is a unique jurisdiction. However, the issues related to child welfare are issues which are faced by every other part of Canada. I would safely say that the Child Welfare League of Canada is an organization which is dedicated specifically to undertaking system-wide reviews of child welfare practices to ensure consistent standards of performance and outcomes and that best practices are achieved. I would say that this organization would be experts in this field. With respect to the time frame in which they operated, I can see they have certainly interviewed and spoken with a very broad cross-section of Northerners. We certainly look forward to hearing the results of the review. Thank you.
