Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minster of Health and Social Services. It is regarding my Member's statement. I have concerns with how families are affected when children are taken away and put into foster care and group homes, and eventually find themselves in young offenders' facilities.

I feel we have to do more to find ways of working out these problems between the children, their parents and also the conditions that a lot of families and parents find themselves, especially in many of our small isolated communities, where there are no real economic opportunities. They find themselves having to depend on income support, and are not able to afford the luxuries for their family and their children.

I have some concerns with that. I mentioned the problems we have seen in institutions in the past, particularly the hospital systems and the education systems that we have seen over time. We had the hospital systems where children were taken away on barges and never returned home for five to ten years. We have seen the Grollier Hall fiasco...
