Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we have to look at the repatriation issues on a case-by-case basis, but the one option that shows promise for us in terms of expanding our capacity in the Northwest Territories is discussions we've entered into with Somba K'e out on the road to Detah. There's money in the budget to upgrade the Territorial Treatment Centre, but it's not a building that has much great use, I don't think as a child welfare facility. We are very interested in trying to come to an agreement to access that particular facility to expand our capacity for extra beds, rather than spending capital money upgrading the Territorial Treatment Centre. That would allow us to expand our capacity. That's the one area where we have capacity and potential, where we're moving towards looking at either to take more children for treatment in the North and not having to have them go south or, where possible, if there's room to look at repatriating, as the Member has indicated. Thank you.
