Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I would just like to follow up on the points you raised regarding alcohol and drug programs and assisting, where we can, to develop our alcohol and drug programs closer to home. Right now, we only have one facility on the Hay River Reserve. It has to serve the whole Northwest Territories. You have touched on the area of development and the impact and effect of development on our communities. I have pounded the table many times during the 13th Assembly with your predecessors on the Tl'oondih Healing Society. There is much reluctance. I do not know if it is the bureaucracy or this government that wants to see new ideas or new initiatives taken to find ways and solutions to deal with those problems.
Right now, the Tl'oondih Healing Society has been accessing program dollars through the Aboriginal Healing Foundation, because at least they are listening to the communities and they are funding programs to assist the communities in regard to community wellness, early childhood development and what has happened with the different problems in residential schools.
I would like to ask the Minister, what does the community or an organization have to do to get this government to assist or to help those communities that do have people trained, have spent the money, developed the human resources in our communities but do not have the support of this government? I would like to ask the Minister again, what does it take for a community, an organization or an institution such as the Tl'oondih Healing Society, who are running federal programs in our regions but this government does not want to support them or assist them to run programs on behalf of this government? Yet we are exporting people to the south for alcohol and drug programs but we are not able to assist in our communities in regions.
I would like to ask the Minister, what does it take to utilize the Tl'oondih Healing Camp, which is over a $2 million facility sitting there, running programs on behalf of the federal government, but this government will not allow them to run GNWT programs. What does it take?
