Mr. Chairman, I am not going to ask any more questions on child and family services. You are probably happy to hear that.
This section of your department, community health programs, one of the areas that you provide grants
and contributions to are non-government organizations. A lot of what the department is affording in respect to counselling and addictions and stuff like that is done through NGOs in the voluntary sector. They are a very responsive group. They can do an awful lot. They can often go a little further with the money they provide them. We could, if we delivered programs and services in-house. I see them as being a critical aspect of business in the Northwest Territories. We need to make sure that we are providing them meaningful and ongoing support. Not every NGO is obviously in the category where multiyear funding is necessary, but certainly some are, some that are providing obviously some key counselling service, addiction services, treatment, housing, all the things that you heard us all talk about today.
I noticed over time some NGOs have slipped to one-year funding as this review of the NGO sector has gone on. I am wondering if you can tell me -- how many might be too specific -- but do we have many NGOs that are running on one-year funding from the Department of Health and Services? If so, what are we doing to ensure that we can provide some of these key NGOs multiyear funding so they can stabilize their service delivery and better meet the needs of the residents of the Northwest Territories?
