Well, thank you. I didn't get all the way through my list, Mr. Chairman, so I appreciate this. I understand what the Minister is saying with respect to getting birthing services available in Hay River, but it has been a number of years now since that has been available. So in the interim and in the short term, I do think we need to find some way to make it easier for the young moms or, for that matter, any mom that needs to spend three weeks or more in Yellowknife waiting for the arrival of a baby.

Mr. Chairman, there's been a case recently in the media quite extensively, it's actually happening in British Columbia, where a child in foster care, a toddler, lost their life. They had been placed in the care of relatives and I understand that the principle behind this was to consider it a priority to place a child with family, even extended family, rather than in a home who didn't know the child or was not culturally similar to the home that the child had been apprehended from. I'm sure that we have, in the Northwest Territories, a family reunification program and probably a priority that would be placed on relatives who would be willing to take a child into care, as opposed to any others that would be in a group of foster homes. It raises the question, though, Mr. Chairman, as to the kind of home study that takes place when people apply to be foster parents. My question is, when a child is placed in the home of a relative, is the same due diligence undertaken in terms of assessing that home as they would assess any other home, or is that process somewhat circumvented because of the fact that the receiving home would be relatives to the child being apprehended? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
