Mr. Speaker, I’d like to thank the Member for giving me an opportunity to clarify what I was advising the Member. Mr. Speaker, the Member for Mackenzie Delta and myself, as the Minister, have been working very hard for the last 16 months to resolve a situation in Fort McPherson whereby a contract that the Beaufort-Delta authority has had with To’oondih Healing Society for a mental health and wellness position has basically broken down. The person that used to work for the Healing Society has left the position as she felt that she couldn’t meet all of the training requirements that were necessary for that position.

I agree with the Member that the community of Fort McPherson is entitled to and they do need to have someone who could provide this service. In fact, they want to have more flexibility to provide the service. When I was in Inuvik two weeks ago I talked to the chair of the authority and the CEO about that the option, and what I would like for them to consider is to transfer that money to the community government of Fort McPherson, if they wish to have this money, so that they could hire their own person. That would allow the community to provide the services in a way they would like to do it. I have a letter in front of me that I’m going to sign to send to the authority to confirm this. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
