Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the area of the children's services and especially the foster care side of where we try to help families and children that are in need, within the legislation there is a plan of care committees that's in there, but the legislation itself is permissible so it's not mandatory. A concern of trying to make it mandatory is if we can't get the committee together to make decisions, then the child is in limbo even longer. So that is one of the reasons why. But we have in the past; we've made aboriginal organizations and other organizations within communities aware of the plan of care committees that can be established. Right now, we are working with organizations and families on some of the planning and training that needs to occur in that area of foster care and parenting on that side.
The issue of requirements of who could qualify as a foster parent has, indeed, over the years become much more stringent. A lot of that is around the liability issues. As any child that goes into foster care is basically a ward of the department, we have to ensure the safety side of it. So that's why you see those standards or the requirements become much more stringent. Thank you.
