I’m happy to hear that. Thirty-one would obviously be our dream, but some progress in this is important and progress builds upon progress and hopefully eventually we’ll have all 31, but we definitely want to see some movement in this area.
Just for the record, the Minister did make reference to the Healthy Families Program. That was a completely separate recommendation and I’m happy to see that the Minister is moving on the recommendation.
One other area that we talked about when we were out in the communities was we clearly heard that people just were confused, frankly, just had no idea what their role under the Child and Family Service Act was, what their rights were under the Child and Family Services Act. Some plain language clarity on the act and their rights within the act would go a long way to improving implementation and the lives of children and families. So one of our recommendations was to develop a plain language policy and procedures document for public information, such as guidelines, how-to resources, a website and pamphlets for parents, families and children involved in the child protection system. This was recommendation number 34. We don’t see this as costing a significant amount of money, but we have significant benefits to the people of the Northwest Territories. Understanding goes a long way to streamlining the process and helping the families. We want to see progress in this area, in this recommendation in the 2011-12 fiscal year. Once again, we don’t see a significant amount of money, we are happy that you conditionally accepted it, but please include this in ‘11-12 with some dollars and start making progress on it for the sake of the children and for the sake of the families in the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
