Thank you. Am I understanding that if the report isn't done, this type of program or a similar program will be implemented until such time as the new program is started? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Chair, the organization that we have contracted with has undertaken, as I understand it, to deliver the evaluation of the program by the end of fall. Certainly, we wish to have seamless delivery of this program or this type of program on an ongoing basis. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Maybe it's Friday and I'm not getting the message, here. Is the department willing to look at the potential of having to cover, in the short-term if this report isn't done, to offer this type of programming until such time as a new program is implemented? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Chair, perhaps I could have Ms. Haener expand on my responses. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We expect to get the evaluation completed before the contract with the current service provider ends on December 31st, 2016. If the evaluation outcome is such that there is significant change that is needed, and in the interests of not having a gap in services, we would look at what options would be available to not have a gap, and that could include extending the current contract with the service provider, for example. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Ms. Haener, and I thank the Minister for his answers as well. So can the Minister commit to providing the Social Development Committee with an update on this, so we know what's going on in this area? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just wanted to ask a question to the Minister. Apart from the New Day Program initiative, are there any other programs for men that could bring about reformative measures in the spirit of wellness and healing? Thank you.

Mr. Chair, there is, of course, the Domestic Violence Treatment court, DVTO, which has been up and operating for several years in Yellowknife and, more lately, in Hay River. So there are other programs to assist men in these situations. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Minister has stated that, in terms of evaluating the merits of continuing the New Day Program, there could be an effort to redesign the program. Could the Minister explain, if indeed it goes down the path of redesigning the program, to continue, would it have a local community or else a territorial focus? Thank you.

Certainly, once the evaluation is received, there may be some changing in the type of program that is required as a result of that evaluation. Obviously, it will have a northern or territorial emphasis, or emphases to it. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'd like to talk a little bit about Integrated Case Management, another of the department's pilot projects. Could the Minister please tell us the status of the Integrated Case Management program? Thank you.
