Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, at present, the plan is to locate them along with the team that currently exists in Yellowknife. There hasn't been any discussion with the authorities about any other scenario. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Supplementary, Mr. Lafferty.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, will the Minister tell this Assembly what the rationale is for basing half of the teams, which are meant to be covering rehab services for the whole Northwest Territories, in Yellowknife? Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Lafferty. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we are making an attempt to decentralize this service by putting one team in the South Slave, another in Inuvik, and then because of its central location and critical mass of other practising professionals, in Yellowknife, that they provide service to the Sahtu, Tlicho and Deh Cho. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Supplementary, Mr. Lafferty.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Since there is an unwillingness to commit to basing one of the rehab teams in my riding, is he looking at the possibility of establishing a therapeutic counsellor in the community to take care of the needs of the region? Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Lafferty. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we already fund community wellness workers, mental health workers, clinical supervisors, as well as social workers, nurses, CHRs, and such. So I am not sure exactly what the Member is meaning by a therapeutic counsellor. I would be happy to talk to the Member and get more detail. As well, I don't want to shut the door completely. I am always willing to look at suggestions and the issue of the relocation of rehab teams. I will make note of that. The next meeting we have with the board chairs, I will put the issue on the table, and to the member who chairs, Mr. Nitsiza, so he will be made aware of that, I am sure. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Final supplementary, Mr. Lafferty.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. As a short-term measure, Mr. Speaker, I have indicated in my Member's statement that there is a period of six weeks' waiting. There is no need for that in my riding and other ridings, as well, in the North. Twenty-four hours is a long time waiting. Even six weeks is a long time waiting.

Mr. Speaker, in order to make a short-term measure to assist the community to plan ahead, will the Minister please have his staff work with the rehabilitation team and the communities in Monfwi, to establish a schedule of visits in advance? Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Lafferty. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we talk about the issue of wait times. One of the areas with the most pressing and longest wait times, and the most pressing need, is the area of rehab services. So, yes, Mr. Speaker, I will commit to making sure we take a look and work with the resources in Yellowknife, and Stanton, and the Member's constituency, to see that we can better schedule. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Item 6, oral questions. The honourable Member for Sahtu, Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. The honourable Minister of Environment and Natural Resources, Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the commitment was to provide the same capacity as other communities that have depots. So, yes, we will ensure, similar to the fur program that, as the Member said, will there be cash in the trash. I hope that they will take the cash out of the trash and bring it to us, and we will help them recycle it and get them their refund. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Supplementary, Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate the Minister's cash in the trash support there. I want to ask the Minister whether any of the communities are not prepared to take on this type of program. The Minister's office of ENR is doing it. For example, in Colville Lake, would the Co-op store be the biggest spot that would take their needs? If that is the case, then, is the department looking at refunding or helping out in terms of a storage site, or container, or a site, or building that they could put their material in? Otherwise, the juvenile delinquents in the community would do more harm than good to this program. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we are prepared to work with any business, or group, in the community. We have assistance with equipment to get started. We don't have money for capital, but this is seen as a business opportunity, especially if there is an existing business that wants a sideline that will generate some income. But there is assistance in terms of the start-up cash registers, and all the other equipment you need to process the beverage containers. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Supplementary, Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, would the Minister reconsider implementing this program in the communities where they may not be up to speed for handling of these types of products? Sometimes, they take a little longer than seven days, or a month, to get this program securely grounded in the communities to operate this. Would the Minister look at something in terms of reconsidering how this program gets implemented in communities that don't have a recycling facility? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Mr. Miltenberger.
