Certainly when the social worker left Tulita, it has been a couple years or longer and it’s been almost over 700 days since we’ve had a social worker in our community. Even though we get back fills from the other communities to help out, it has been quite a challenge and that’s why we ask if they’ll be flexible enough. We certainly want to fill those positions for those workers coming into our community. Sometimes it doesn’t work according to the plan, so I’m just asking for some flexibility if the community can work with the health and social services board to say it’s going to be a challenge, we’re unable to fill that position, as we all want to do, but this position is being vacant and we’d like to do something that would fit the needs of the community. Some flexibility within the department with the health boards to say, yes, we can do this. That’s all I’m asking.
