Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Member, last fall, brought up the issue about the need for this government to be involved in making sure that services to people who had suffered the abuse at residential schools were coordinated and that we needed to coordinate not only within our own government, but with outside agencies. Earlier this year, in January, we coordinated a meeting of not only GNWT departments but outside agencies including the RCMP, churches, survivor groups and the federal government, to make sure that everybody knew what the program would be. We are trying to make sure that everybody, whether they are in the smallest community or largest community, knows how to access the services that they might need, knows how to contact Indian residential schools resolution to get one of the benefits. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
