Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Family Support Centre operates a 12-bed facility in Hay River with a wide variety of programs for clients and their children. They also fund the second stage house for women and their families to continue their healing after they have left the Family Support Centre. This is all accomplished within a yearly budget of $280,000. Conversely, the Alison McAteer House in Yellowknife is a 12-bed facility as well but they receive $400,000 in funding. The Fort Smith shelter receives approximately $270,000 for a six-bed facility. This hardly seems equitable. Can the Minister explain to this House how this funding is arrived at? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
