Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. As I was just talking about earlier in my Member's statement, I just wanted to go back to the Honourable Michael Miltenberger's statement in last week's session on the treatment of the clients with developmental disabilities. I feel that when the honourable Member stated that is not our role to get involved in disagreements in the internal wranglings and differences between institutions and the Alberta government, and whatever other agencies are in Alberta, I believe that statement is not in compliance with the government policy. I think it is our role, Mr. Speaker, to be directly involved with any wranglings or differences between any institution which this government pays $1 million plus per year in ensuring that NWT clients are well taken care of, whether they are in Alberta or any other jurisdiction. Mr. Speaker, I just want to make reference to a letter I also received from the Minister, which states that several program audits are in various phases of completion, and we are awaiting final reports to base any decisions on the relocation of our clients. I just wanted to ask the Minister of Health and Social Services if the Office of the Public Guardian's report, which is dated April 20, 2004, prior to the letter of May 7th that was sent to me, whether this report has been taken into consideration when the decision to remove the clients was being made? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
