Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister responsible for Health and Social Services. It is regarding the contract that was let for $110,000 to look at the area of children and family review. One of the big problems that I see with a lot of these reviews is we do not really get a real concept of the problems that we face in our smaller communities.
One of the big problems that is in our small communities is that we do not have a lot of the service providers in our communities, especially dealing with family counselling services, legal services, alcohol and drug dollars to deal with the problems that a lot of these problems originate from.
With that, I would like to ask the Minister what exactly has this committee done to ensure that they will hear from the smaller communities in the Northwest Territories so they can state the problems they see regarding children's services and family services that this government is supposed to be providing?
