Mahsi cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Health and Social Services. Mr. Speaker, as I indicated in my Member's statement child apprehension and child custody is a thriving business in the Northwest Territories. Since 1998 to 2001-2002, approximately a little over 200 children were put into child custody in the Northwest Territories. It went from 632 to 876 according to the numbers I received here, an increase of 35 percent, Mr. Speaker.
Mr. Speaker, I would like to see if the Minister could confirm these numbers for me. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
