Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I asked a question yesterday to the Minister responsible for Health and Social Services. It was about the psychiatric services provided. One thing I found alarming is that there is an inmate from Aklavik in the institution out at the Yellowknife Correctional Institute.
He is having some problems with depression. I was told there seemed to be a lack of funds to deal with that type of situation, where people are institutionalized and there are no resources in place to assist them in dealing with depression and personal problems they may have.
We do not have any real facilities in the North to deal with these types of people. I do believe there is a psychiatric ward in the hospital there, but there are also institutions in southern Canada.
Due to budget cuts, there seems to be very few dollars to help these people out that are incarcerated. Could the Minister show me in the budget where there is money to assist in such an area? I cannot really figure it out. I see there is money there for different services, community justice, corrections, legal services, but I am wondering if there is money to assist inmates once they are incarcerated to deal with their psychological problems.
