Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there are a number of adult individuals who are in facility placements throughout the Northwest Territories with symptoms that are attributed to FAS/FAE. These individuals are in placement in group homes and independent living situations. There are also many individuals with more serious needs who require supports for additional diagnosis along with suspected FAS/FAE. These individuals are receiving a continuum of support including residential support, life skill training, job coaching and support for more independent living situations. My department, in partnership with Education, Culture and Employment, does provide funding towards support for persons attributed to have FAS/FAE. The department funds health and social services boards to contract these services from professional, non-profit organizations.
