Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, yesterday when I was making general comments, I talked about the issue of boards and my concern about where the Minister and the department might be headed in terms of their relationship with boards.

I know that in her response to me, the Minister talked about what she saw as a difficulty with the accountability level being at the ministerial and the departmental level, with the authority for program delivery being at the board level. In fact, she referred to...one of the things she was waiting for in the Cuff report was some discussion about this gap. The Minister did indicate that using that very word, about the gap between those two areas, that she thought that this report would reveal some areas where there might be some concerns.

Again, she had rejected the suggestion that the committee has made that there is a similarity between health boards and education boards. The relationship between the Ministers here should be seen as pretty much the same, I would argue. We have education boards that have been devolved almost ultimate authority for delivering the program that is set up by statute and regulation. They are provided funds, basically block-funded. A formula is used to allocate the funding to the boards, but the funding, once it gets to the boards, is pretty well up to the boards to determine how it is actually spent. The formula is only there as a means to allocate the funds.

So the accountability is still there for the Minister and the government. They are responsible in this House to answer questions on the delivery of the program, and yet the Minister has very little involvement directly with the boards in how the program is delivered.

I think what we were trying to point out is that in one instance, one department in this government has managed to develop what seems to be a very positive working relationship and there is not a concern about that gap. There may be a concern, but they have found a way to deal with it and make sure that the program is delivered, and that the boards are supported properly in doing it. In making note of that and by trying to point out that the situation should not be any different with health boards, yes, the authority for the delivery of the program is at the board level and, yes, the accountability is with the department. The challenge is for the department and the Minister to find a way to support the boards adequately so that they can in fact deliver the program that they are expected to deliver.

I would like to move on to another issue and it is to follow up on the comments that were made by Ms. Lee and Mr. Miltenberger about the Child Welfare League report. I too made note of the supportive comments that the Minister made early on about this report. I would agree with her that it was a very good report. But she just now said that the one difference between the Cuff report and previous reports is that they do not make specific practical recommendations for action.

I would say, as Ms. Lee pointed out earlier today, that there are 58 specific recommendations for action contained in the report It Takes A Community. The Minister today said that there is $1.2 million in the budget for critical investments. I think again, as Ms. Lee noted, it is hard to see how much we are really seeing of those 58 recommendations in $1.2 million. I do not think it is very much.

I have a really specific question for the Minister. How many workers increase will be covered in the Northwest Territories in that $1.2 million?
