Thank you, Mr. Chair. Going through this business plan, the social development committee and the Standing Committee on Priorities and Planning really appreciate the fact that the men's healing program is funded, but we are really trying to all stress the importance of the recommendation of a regional or modular delivery to extend the program outside of Yellowknife. It is the opportunity to help all residents of the Northwest Territories. I understand that the people who do the men's healing program may or may not get the contract as we move forward, but the biggest challenge is that, if we continue to do it here in Yellowknife, we are going to keep on getting better results here, but not outside the region. Both committees have stressed the importance of increasing this program.
We also talked about the importance of not eliminating the one position, the victim's service position. We feel that that has a huge impact on the individuals who are in the court system and the people who have been victimized. We believe these positions need to be put back into the budget.
On a personal note, I do have to give some credit to the department. I am very happy to see the creation of the Child Exploitation Unit. That is very, very important. I think that, with the way society is going now, this is a huge improvement. I also would like to thank the department for continuing with their Integrated Case Management Pilot project. That is huge. It seemed to work. I think we need to continue it instead of making it a pilot project. I would hope the department, at one point, would actually make it part of the budget completely. That is my closing comments. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
