Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the number I have is $5 million, $5.5 million or so. It went from $4.1 million to $5.5 million since 1999 to 2001. That is a significant increase, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask the Minister where are these children coming from? We have the regional health boards that have numbers, but I would like to ask the demographics of the majority of the children in care. Are they non-aboriginal Northerners, aboriginal Northerners, are they a mixture? Who are the predominant people whose children are in our child custody? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
