Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to thank the Member for that question. As the Member knows, in our discussions in the community visit in Sahtu, we have talked about that. I have indicated that part of our review will include a lot more flexibility built in so that communities could come up with their own proposals and solutions that we can partner with. The Member was also there when the chief, Frank Andrew, thanked the department for the money that we provided for an on-the-land healing program at a camp, which name I can’t remember but it was off the river in Tulita. In fact, the Member, I believe, took part in that and he thought that was a very good program.
I believe we have approved about $30,000 to $40,000 for that. We already have programs that allow for that and the review of the Mental Health and Addictions Program is designed so that we could do more of that.
We are also working in Fort McPherson and Tuktoyaktuk in partnership with the Gwich’in Tribal Council and Inuvialuit Regional Council where they have agreed to work with us by providing more funding so that we could do community-based programs. We have had intense and detailed discussions with the Member as well as in the communities. I believe the Member knows that this is what I am interested in doing and that I would be pursuing it further. Thank you.
