Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Minister is correct that residential school is prevalent in all areas of the small communities. Again, I support the Minister in terms of continuing to support his frontline workers, social workers, mental health workers, addiction workers in terms of dealing with this issue. We are just scraping the top of the iceberg on this issue here.
In terms of funding to the authorities for community social service workers in the areas of prevention, assessment, early intervention, counselling and treatment services related to children, youth and families, what type of funding that's given to the health authorities in terms of some flexibility where communities would be empowered to design their own programs under one of these topics in terms of helping the children, youth or families? Is there a type of discretionary funds that the authorities can give to the communities and say here, design your own program for you, your children and your families, without following some of the policies that are in place by the Health and Social Services directive? Thank you.
