Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The whole process of this decentralization is somewhat confusing for me because the first time I really did notice it was when I saw it in the newspaper and I'm not too sure we had the opportunity to have some discussion with our community members or in our region. What's more startling is that I found 25 percent of the referrals are from Inuvik and the Sahtu and 40 percent are from the community of Yellowknife.

This is a Territorial Treatment Centre. I support the decentralization policy this government has undertaken and that there are a lot of our youth in small communities that need this program. There's only 25 percent from two regions that are in this territorial treatment program. If anything, we should have some discussion on how to move these programs back into our regions for our communities where there's a high number of kids that need this program in our community regions. But there is a big percentage of referrals from Yellowknife here. Somewhere we're not receiving the same level of services in the smaller communities as the people in the city of Yellowknife, yet this is a Territorial Treatment Centre. Somewhere it's not making sense.

I'm somewhat dissatisfied with the process that it went through, in terms of how this has come about. I thought we were making some good headway in working with the other side in terms of keeping us involved. There are some projects that you have our comments and input in and in others it shows up like this.

Again, it's a program that's being moved to outside the capital city here and it's a territorial program, so again for me the decentralization of the government...I hope that we're going to see decentralization into our regions, not just one program. There are lots of misconceptions maybe out there or half truths or truths as to why this program is going to the Dene K'onia facility in Hay River. I don't know those reasons. Only Cabinet knows and Cabinet is moving it. For myself, I certainly would like to see this kind of program in larger centres coming to our regions and have those kinds of services for our people up in the Sahtu. At least I speak for my people that that's what they want to see. Sometimes it takes a lot of complaining, a lot of debates to get programs moved into our region. But something like this goes really fast. I don't know what's going on here, so I'm having some difficulty in terms of how this was done and this amount of money.

For me and my people, I guess they're kind of wondering how the system works. For that reason, on those points, Mr. Chairman, I need more information. I guess I read some stuff. I agree with some points the Members have made and some points I don't agree with. On that point, I'm going abstain on this motion here because I need more time to read this. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
