Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The letter that I wrote to the Beaufort Health and Social Services Authority directing them to transfer $75,000 to a community government who may be willing to deliver this program is as a result of the fact that the Tl’oondih Healing Society and the authority, their discussions have not resulted in a resolution as to how this program could be delivered there. The amount of $75,000 is in line with the money that the authority had given to Tl’oondih Healing Society in the last fiscal year. The dollar amount that the Member is speaking about is bigger than the contribution that the authority used to give to Tl’oondih Healing Society. The Member is mistaken in mixing the two funds. I just want to indicate to the Member I did this because that was what the Member wanted for the community. If he would like me to revisit that and tell the authority not to do it, I would be happy to do that as well. Thank you.
