Thanks for the answer, to the Minister. I appreciate that everybody has their hand out looking for funds. I think I have to state that this particular community houses 50 percent, give or take, of the Territories population. That is an awful lot larger group of kids that need to be looked after. I also think that some of the kids in this 16 to 19 age group are kids who are coming from the communities and end up here in Yellowknife and then have no place to stay. I appreciate the Minister’s commitment to look at finding some funds. As I said earlier, I think even $10,000 or $20,000 would certainly be of assistance to the SideDoor for this particular program. I would urge the Minister to do whatever she can, and either I or Mr. Abernethy will be following up with her on this issue. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
