My discussion with the Member from Mackenzie Delta for the last six months has revolved around the contract the Tl’oondih Healing Society has had with the Beaufort-Delta Health and Social Services Authority. The Member would like us to expend that. Mr. Speaker, I think it is important we ask the authority and the band office or the community government to work on this position and then see from there how we could expend that. We know that there are two or three positions on the Mental Health and Wellness Program. The focus right now is to use the money that used to be allocated to the Tl’oondih Healing Society which has not been used for a very long time. I am hearing from the communities as well as the Member that we need to do something there right away. I would like to ask the Member to let us just focus on this first and then go from there as to how we expend that. Thank you.
