Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, in the area of the Department of Health and Social Services, the Minister stated that there is going to be an increase of 9.4 percent, or $17 million, in Health and Social Services, and goes on to state in a number of areas where there is going to be some new investments. I would like to get some information in these areas. One of the areas that the Minister has touched on is improving child protection/family support services through an additional ten child protection workers and enhanced training. I would like to know if the department has considered the impact that this potentially can have. Usually when you have more staff to be able to look after the issues, you are going to also have, for example, more child apprehensions. Is that something that is taken into consideration? You will see an increased cost to those child apprehensions as well.
