Item 6: Oral Questions

David Krutko Mackenzie Delta
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are directed to the Minister of Justice. We have been in discussion with the department and Fort McPherson band council trying to find a program that can be delivered out of the Tl'oondih Healing Centre. I would just like to get an update from the Minister. You were making some progress on this program, but it seems like it's hit a brick wall. I would like to ask the Minister, could you give us an update on where we are at with that project and how soon we can see some activity happening on that?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On the question of continuing discussions, yes, our department has been working with the community. To what degree over the last several months is uncertain at this time. I believe we are still pursuing the intent of that proposal which is to facilitate some form of restorative justice programs at the Tl'oondih healing lodge.
