Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would love to see integrated case management rolled out everywhere. I am a tremendous supporter of this program. Realistically, it is not going to be within the budget that there currently is to establish new offices with these kinds of services in different communities. It's not just a question of the individual human being, but of a support team. Within the integrated case management office and services, there is a certain level of capacity and knowledge that's been built up within the team that exists here. Again, it wouldn't be quite so simple as to take a person and just say that they will be out somewhere else. That said, Mr. Chair, I am committed to finding some solutions. Certainly, over the next fiscal year, within the current budget that's being proposed, to find ways to have the ICM workers that we have here in Yellowknife perhaps better with the GSO offices that exist elsewhere in the other communities. That is a centralized feature that's available to a lot of the communities, although acknowledging not all of them, but it is available in a lot of the communities. There may well be ways that we can better support the collaborative services between these different departments that offer these services, ICM under Justice and then the GSO offices. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
