Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I'd be interested to know when this work is supposed to be complete so that we know whether to expect the results to be incorporated in the next business plan. Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Green. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the work we anticipate is going to take a bit of time. It's going to be done by a private contractor. We really have to dig in right at the base community level. At this point, it's not expected that work will be done in time for business planning, but it will be available for future decision-making in the Assembly. I will say that we do appreciate that, in the last budget round, we did have some additional money put into this area and we were able to hire and create some homecare and home support positions throughout the Northwest Territories in the areas where there was a clear and obvious need. We accept that this work needs to be done, but it won't be done in time for business planning. We're anticipating the work will be done closer to the end of the upcoming fiscal year.

Thank you, Minister. Ms. Green.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I know there are going to be people who are disappointed to hear that. The needs for homecare are needs I hear often from my constituents. I have a lot of elderly people in my constituency, and what they ask me is: how have homecare services improved and how will they improve? So what does the Minister suggest I say in response to those questions? Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Green. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, we did have a $2.5 million dollar investment in the last Assembly, which is base funding and has resulted in the creation of a 11.5 -- I think it's 11.5; it might just be 11 -- 11.5 or 11 home support positions across the Northwest Territories.

We do have a continuing care action plan that includes a number of activities that we are undertaking to support aging in place and help our residents stay in their homes for as long as possible. It isn't just home support workers, but it is pilots like the community caregivers, family care pilots that were working. There are a number of items within the action plan that don't necessarily need new money, but require us to do things different or better.

I would encourage the Member to encourage her constituents to look at the Continuing Care Action Plan, to make sure that their voices continue to be heard, and work with us as we roll out the different initiatives. Not everyone is about homecare workers. There are other things that are in that report. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Ms. Green. Your time has expired. Next, I have Mr. McNeely.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm going to rely on the Minister's previous experience in looking at, I'm referring to page 179 on the allowance there of $1.1 million for the On the Land Healing Fund. Has there been in previous years looking at the Department of Justice for reintegration of clients? Looking at this department, On the Land Healing Fund, there are some similarities for clients there. Has there ever been a cost-shared pilot On the Land Program by both departments for these similarity clients, if you want to refer to them as that? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, these dollars were identified and put in place as a result of the Mental Health and Addictions Action Plan that identified the need for options. The majority of this money flows directly to Aboriginal governments who run different On the Land Healing Programs designed by them for them. We always indicate that we're happy to provide some human resources or expertise if they require it.

In addition to that, Mr. Chair, there is the NWT On the Land Collaborative that exists in the Northwest Territories. That's where departments like Health and Social Services, Justice, but also third-party funders are coming together to support different On the Land initiatives available in the Northwest Territories. In short, the answer is yes. There are tools and mechanisms and avenues for us to do that collaborative work. Really, I think we need to really pat the organizers of the On the Land Collaborative and the partners on the back for the work they're doing in that area. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Mr. McNeely.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I take it there has been a past pilot project between Aboriginal governments, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Health? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Minister.

Thank you. Mr. McNeely.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just want to see if there's some common ground and understanding from previous experience, if we can maximize both departments and both funding initiatives here towards that, if there would be an openness and a willingness by this department. Taking a lead on a pilot, we have some discussions on concerned individuals or individuals interested in providing that service in Tulita and Fort Good Hope. I welcome the information and I'll share that with my constituents to see if they want to develop a proposal to access this funding source. Thank you.

Thank you. Minister, would you like to respond?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, we've really seen the benefits of pooling some of our resources as part of the On the Land Collaborative and getting larger, more comprehensive programs out there. I know Justice has been involved in different programs in the past. I'll absolutely endeavour to make sure that that information is shared both with the Minister and the deputy of Justice. Should they see an opportunity to come in and benefit from that collaboration, I'm sure they'll certainly explore it. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Next, Mr. Thompson.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just a quick yes or no answer from the Minister first: child and youth mental health is in this section here? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. No, Mr. Chair.

Could the Minister please advise what section that could be found in?
