Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the $1.3 million under item 5, Department of Health and Social Services, for forced growth within the foster care program, I do not have to tell you, Mr. Chairman, that any increase in forced growth in the area of child apprehension and foster care is troubling to me. The numbers that I have in front of me that I got from the Minister of Financial Management Board earlier today tells me that there are 876 children in care today, which reminds me of the earlier government practices of assimilation, where they took kids from our communities and into residential schools. What year is this, I wonder, Mr. Chairman?
What I would like to ask, with the same information I got from the Minister, where it says summary of forced growth for 2002-03 is $831,000, yet we are seeing $1.3 million in the supp. I wonder why, Mr. Chairman.
