Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we will put that information together. We realize that's a fair bit of detail he's requesting. We will get it to him as soon as we can put that together. The number 646 is not all children in foster homes and it's not all aboriginal children, but a very high percentage are aboriginal children. We will get that breakdown. For example, out of that 646, 254 are actually in their homes but they are in a plan of care program where parents have had to sign agreements on what happens in their home and how things are taken care of. We are still in supervision mode in those areas. Another 25 are in provisional foster care areas where family is involved and then the extended family care, so an aunt or an uncle in that community, a grandparent. There are another 81 involved in that. So over 300 of those children are either in their own homes or with family members and where we are directly involved with monitoring and supervising what occurs in that situation. So there are a lot of children who are involved in the system, but we are still working with families and a large number of them, ensuring that we maintain that family contact. As for the rest of the information, we will provide that to the Member. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
