Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Approximately three years ago, the department set up probation services with due money voted by the Assembly. A plan was laid out at that time for the delivery of probation services, I think based on the number of cases a probation officer held. I cannot tell the Member today why it was that a decision was made to place three probation officers in Hay River with responsibilities for case work in I believe Fort Providence, probably Enterprise and possibly some other communities as well...probably Fort Resolution as well. It may be based on an analysis of the case work in that community did not warrant a full-time probation officer, but I can undertake to check into that, check into the rationale behind having a regional office in Hay River with three or four people in it and, on behalf of the Minister, advise the Member.
