Mr. Speaker, one of the ways that we obviously engage in this way is through communities and regional governments with the on-the-land programming and things like that. Specifically in-House, the Community Counselling Program is a community-based service that is made up of counsellors as well as wellness workers. Having counsellors based in the communities means that they have the opportunity to engage and become more immersed in the culture of the communities where they happen to be living. In the Department of Health and Social Services we are also working on cultural competencies that all staff will be required to take at the front line so that they are aware of the different cultures in the Northwest Territories and they're aware of the cultures and differences in the communities they live.
Wellness workers, Mr. Speaker, are often local individuals from the communities who already know the people and the culture and they're a great resource for professionals who do have to come in from other communities or other locations in Canada. Our work with Aboriginal governments around the delivery of the on-the-land healing programs, I think, is another great example of how we're trying to incorporate culture. With those on-the-land healing programs, Mr. Speaker, we don't dictate how they will be run. We accept and recognize without question that the best people to design and deliver these programs are the people who are living in the communities, the people who have on the land experience. There's a number of different things that we're doing. When we roll into one single authority, we're looking at putting together an Indigenous committee to help us identify traditional healing practices that we can incorporate across the whole system, including places like Stanton. This is an area that we take very seriously and we're going to continue to move forward to make improvements.
