Okay. Thank you. On page 6-37 then, under children's services, the government provides money for foster care, residential care, protective services. As I was saying, I learned, in talking to...Obviously the issue of foster care and having to have some of our children in foster care is a big issue and I had the occasion to talk to a retired social worker from a very small community in our territory where there is no social worker right now. She used to be a foster parent for some of the children in the communities and she's been asked to foster in the community that she lives in. She brought up a couple of things. One is that in her understanding, the legislation requires or provides for an opportunity for the community leadership to get together to have a discussion about the welfare of the child or the children who are subject to
apprehension and try to find ways to find suitable families within their communities, so that there is a possibility for those children to stay within the community.
She's saying that that doesn't always happen. In fact, she is not aware of an event like that happening in a long while. I do appreciate foster parents. I think it's a very difficult job and there are a lot of parents in Yellowknife doing that, but I am sure everyone would be supportive of finding ways to keep foster children within their own communities, cultures, families and regions if at all possible. What kind of system is in place to make sure that you could ascertain that that step takes place? Could we make it so it's a very strong, almost mandatory requirement -- it should be documented almost -- that each community has a committee set up where they have to look at each situation and see?
The second thing is we need to support the families who may be in position to take these children in care.
The third thing is she is saying that the requirements to be a foster parent now has changed a lot since she was a foster parent 10 or 20 years ago. I don't know if it's a question of education or support or whatever, but I would like to know more information on that. Thank you.
