Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the intention that I have indicated is to move TTC. At present, the numbers indicate that half of the residents are from Yellowknife. Those numbers change based on demand and need from wherever the need may arise. It's the same circumstance just in Stanton, for example, where at least half the population has to travel into Yellowknife to get service, or if you want to go to the Territorial young offenders' facility in Inuvik, you have to go there. So I appreciate the concern that there may be residents in Yellowknife who have to travel to access the service, but the reality is that's what we all have to do at one time or another if we want services. We'll be making every effort to make sure that residential care is the last step that we take before all of our other options are explored and exhausted, and the intent is to keep children in their community if at all possible. In certain circumstances, that isn't the case and we have to make use of those facilities and, at present, the plan is to move that program to Hay River. Thank you.
