Thank you, Mr. Chair. One of the most difficult times that I have experienced in this Legislature occurred in the matter under this department and this Minister's jurisdiction, and that was the surprise decision to move the Territorial Treatment Centre from Yellowknife to another community. Mr. Chair, this one hurt because it was something of great significance in my riding and to this city. It was an action that the government, after considerable review and investigation, went ahead with, by its own admission, for political purposes, against the clinical program, psychological and professional advice of a number of different agencies in this community. The impact of that, I think, continues to be felt, even though the facility is still physically here. According to a schedule that I have seen, if I recall it, Mr. Chair, the transfer is due to be enacted sometime next year in 2007. There are consequences, Mr. Chair, especially to the existing contractor and the ability that they are having, as I understand, to retain staff, knowing that they have to let them go in a short period of time. So that is impacting the level of teamwork and the level of care that is given to the children who are in this facility.

Mr. Chair, even in light of this decision I will forever oppose and argue against, what is the status of the existing service and the ability of the contractor to maintain its level of care as contractor?
