Thank you, Mr. Chair. We are working with the present contractor, Bosco Homes, on the planning and the programming for the move of the facility to Hay River. We are willing to sit down and work with them, as the contractor for the Hay River facility, to provide that continuity between what is offered today there. We have also been, I believe the Member is aware, looking at what services from the South could be repatriated back to the North. We believe, on an annual basis, anywhere from 10 to 20 of the young people that we do send south, children and youth, could be provided services within the NWT. We have been in discussion with Bosco to see if they are interested in providing some services to us with some of those repatriated individuals. The individuals who change, we are looking at some kind of a program that would be potentially providing some group home assistance and those kinds of things, as well. Those discussions are ongoing. In fact, I am expecting a proposal from Bosco soon.
