Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the numbers are really high. There are 646 aboriginal children in foster care in the Northwest Territories. Mr. Minister has alluded to the funding issue. I guess the point is we have these young children taken away from their homes in the communities and for whatever reasons they are taken away, I am more concerned about the care of these children and how they are taken away and what kind of support and rights that the family has. Sometimes some things fall through the cracks. Families work so hard that after awhile, they give up because of the regulations or the policies. I want to know how there is a friendly system to make sure that these children come back into their homes. Sometimes families do well, really good. Any mother or father or grandparent, they really miss their children. There is no shortage of stories being told by former students of residential schools how this has happened and the disconnect. So there are lots of things that contribute to this. So I am asking the Minister for some breakdown. I would also like to ask the Minister for costs; what it costs for each aboriginal child in a foster care home, one year, two years, three years. What does it cost us to have it? How many foster care homes are in my region? How much training have they had? I know I am asking some questions that the Minister can reply to later on and I am willing to accept that.
So, Mr. Chairman, I would like to ask one more question. If the Minister could supply some information for me on these three or four questions regarding foster care.
