I’d say a 25 percent success rate, five times our current success rate, would be nothing to sneeze at. I don’t know how fully it was applied in that case, but it seems like it would be a worthy investment to at least try a demo project or two.

I think it’s well acknowledged by this Minister and this House that this is a serious and challenging difficulty. I know there’s lots of work being done in the mental health and addictions area and so on, but I’m continually frustrated when suggestions are brought up that there seems to be a willingness to prove they’re wrong before trying them out. It would be nice to have a can-do attitude sometimes with some of these things, recognizing we have to be objective and go with the data.

I guess my last question is: I believe the Minister knows Ms. Cindy Blackstock, and she is bringing a national suit about the failure to fund properly especially Aboriginal children in the sense of child and family services activities. Can we get an update

on the status of that and its applicability to our situation in the Northwest Territories? Thank you.
