Thank you, Mr. Dent. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we've added through forced growth $1.1 million to adult supportive living; another $1.5 million to the long-term care facility staffing; and, $250,000 inflation for supplies; $10,000 for the collective agreement. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Mr. Dent.

I didn't get all those numbers written down. Maybe the Minister could outline for me how much forced growth was and how much were program enhancements?

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Mr. Miltenberger.

It's all forced growth. I can read them off again if the Member would like. It's $1.1 million for adult supported living -- this is all under forced growth -- long-term care facility staffing, $1.5 million; inflation supplies, $250,000; and, $10,000 for collective agreement cost.

Thank you. Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The $1.1 million, if it's forced growth, does that mean we will not be able to see any increased numbers of adults living in supported living situations?

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Mr. Miltenberger.

No, Mr. Chairman. Forced growth in this case was because there was the waiting list of 20-some adults that money was put into this particular program area.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Page 6-27 again, community health programs, grants and contributions, Mrs. Groenewegen.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Under contributions to health and social services authorities for children services, funding for health and social service authorities that provide services to eligible Northwest Territories residents in the area of foster care and residential care for children. I notice that the number there has gone down fairly significantly and yet we hear that the number of children we apprehend and take into care has actually increased. I am just wondering if the Minister could explain the decease in those costs. Thank you.

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. Mr. Miltenberger.

I was busy rustling my papers and I missed the page number. The Member is asking about the $8.5 million dropping to $8.1 million? Thank you.

I think those are the correct figures. Mrs. Groenewegen, is that correct?

Yes, Mr. Chairman, that's correct.

Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If you could just bear with us, we are rooting through our paper.

Mr. Miltenberger, you are indicating to refer to Mr. St. Germaine?

Thank you, Mr. St. Germaine. Mrs. Groenewegen.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. So this is not reflective of there being fewer children in care. In fact, there are more children in care now than there was a year ago now. Thank you.

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. Mr. Miltenberger.

That's correct, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
