Thank you, Member for Yellowknife North. Minister of Health and Social Services.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. From what I am aware, the last time we met with the Foster Family Coalition was that we would continue to have ongoing dialogue and that we directed staff to continue to have a scheduled meeting, so that is what I know right now.

Ongoing dialogue is important, but I was looking for a little more from the Minister of Health and Social Services. The NWT Foster Family Coalition publicly made a number of requests. Can the Minister of Health and Social Services commit to responding to each of those requests made by the NWT Foster Family Coalition?

I will look into the situation. I am not sure about committing to each of the requests because I do not know what all the requests are, but I will have a look at the situation.

Just to clarify, I am not asking that the Minister of Health and Social Services commit to fulfilling the requests. I am asking for a commitment that each of them be responded to, and it can be a "yes," a "no," a "we will get back to you." Is the Minister willing to do that?

Yes, this Minister will respond to what the Member is asking.

Thank you. Member for Yellowknife North.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Could the appropriate standing committee also be updated regarding the status of the ongoing disputes and issues and the responses to requests that have been raised by the NWT Foster Family Coalition?

Yes, this Minister will provide information to the Standing Committee on Social Development. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
