Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The reason I asked is I was pretty impressed when I met with the Aboriginal Healing Foundation in Ottawa. They had a map on the wall of all of the hostels in the Northwest Territories. I was pretty amazed to find out that there was a hostel in Fort McPherson that was established back in 1898.
You look at the map on the wall that they had, there were a lot of hostels in the Northwest Territories. The reason I raise this question is that I think there are probably a lot of other people out there who may not be aware of this program or who are not accessing this program.
I think that if you do not include a process for these other individuals who may be out there, because you do talk to people who have gone through the hostel systems, especially people who were taken away from home for, in some cases, up to 10 years at a very young age and today, a lot of them do have problems and have social issues associated with it.
I think that as a government we should ensure that we do have a dispute mechanism or a process to resolve those outstanding issues also. I do not want ourselves or anyone to think we are only focusing on one particular area of concern or problem. We do have a lot of people in our communities and in our society who have had problems associated with this.
I am wondering, what are we doing to reach out to those other individuals so that they can also have a process in place to resolve the outstanding problems that may have occurred through the hostel systems of the Northwest Territories?
