Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Over the years the capacity of the Northwest Territories has increased in terms of the complexity of presenting problems and cases that you can work with, families and individuals who are very challenging. But there are still many that are beyond us.
It requires a regular review and oversight by Health and Social Services. As Mr. Bromley pointed out, for example, he had a constituent who they managed to get appropriate placement for. I’ve had
experiences in my constituency, as well, and they’ve worked out very well. The case I have in mind is of an individual who was down south literally for decades and came back north and has been there ever since and has been integrated into services into the community. We just have to keep tracking and see what the needs and requirements are. Sometimes you may bring one or two, or you may hit a critical mass like we did in Hay River, where at that particular point in time there were enough people who could be repatriated that a facility was built in Hay River. All the child care facilities we have in the North, and for adults, were all built on that premise of bringing Northerners back home. Thank you.
