Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Maybe Mr. Krutko could be more specific, because when children are taken into care, they are not necessarily kept in facilities. In the vast majority of cases, they are kept in homes. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, this government pays out $9.4 million with regard to children who are in care. Is there an actual breakdown of how much is spent in southern institutions, group homes, or do you have an actual breakdown to see where these dollars are being spent? Are they spent in Yellowknife or southern Canada?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. For southern placements, we are budgeting $2.4 million. That is in places such as Alberta Bosco Homes, Society for the Treatment of Autism, Parkland Facility, as well as Calgary Alternative Support. In the Northwest Territories, we provide funding to the Fort Smith Health and Social Services Board. We have around $1 million to run the Trailcross facility. Additionally, we provide contributions to the boards totalling approximately $5.9 million to provide foster services and other children's services. Thank you,

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We can provide that information for the previous fiscal year. The current fiscal year is incomplete because we do not have complete numbers. As to where the money will be spent next fiscal year, the specific details are not known because that varies in terms of the actual numbers of placements and how the boards actually place the children. So we do not know exactly where they are going to spend it. We know what the board allocations are. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
