Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Member's assumption that there are no Northerners involved in this study is certainly not correct. The Department of Health and Social Services was involved in identifying the individuals, groups and agencies that provide the services in the community. This group went into the communities. They spoke with health and social services boards, which are certainly representative and aware of the issues in their constituencies. They met with community representatives. They met with the RCMP, aboriginal organizations, and local school authorities. They met with foster parents, as well as any other individuals or groups that are involved in the well-being of children.
So for the Member to say that Northerners were not involved in this review, Mr. Speaker, I would have to disagree with that. Thank you.
