Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I would just like to point out as well, it came up in discussions over the last number of days, that there is a considerable investment being made in dealing with the needs in communities. Specifically, I am referring to the three-year plan based on the Child Welfare League review to put in ten social workers last year, ten social workers this year and another 11 if it is approved next year, into communities across the Northwest Territories.

The sole intent is to address some of the child welfare issues and the family issues that have been identified through the Child Welfare League review where there has not been enough work done with families and children at the front end to try and address this issue before they reach the stage where shelters are needed and family violence resources are required.

There is a significant investment being made there. I agree with the Member that in an ideal world, if we had unlimited funds, then without a doubt there would be services being put into communities across the North, but with the funds we have available at the present, the situation is as I have described it.

If the investment has been made with the social workers at the front end, by next year there will be over 30 new positions over three years. Thank you.
