Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you for that response. In this line item, too, it also mentions community justice committees and projects. Can the Minister just highlight some of the projects that are ongoing within this line item? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. We have received incremental funding under the Indigenous Justice Program for 2021. Some of those programs will be purchasing laptops to develop delivery of a series of web services to justice coordinators and their committee members, so some training there and easier to do it in the current situation that we are in. We have some money for a pilot program for the development of a restorative process to address intimate partner violence, as well as the development of case management software for community justice program to improve their data collection. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you for the response. It's just good to hear some of the proactive stuff we need, too. A lot of our Justice initiatives are, I want to say, kneejerk, but a lot of it is reactive. It's good to see some of the proactive projects like this happen with the department. I did have one other question here, too, just moving on to this other line item, victims assistance support projects. Can the Minister just briefly describe what that line item covers? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I guess it was kind of misleading, the way I read it, but that's good. Thank you for that response. I don't have anything further at this time. Thank you.

Thanks, Madam Chair. I just want to add my voice to the call for more resources for victim services. I raised this in the last Assembly, the Minister knows well. I pushed his predecessor to conduct a review. The review was done. I think it was done well. The report of the evaluation, though, is dated April 30, 2020, so the department has now had it for almost 10 months. I really want to urge the Minister to work with his staff to get the departmental response. I know the evaluation report came in during the pandemic, but I really want to encourage that the department develop a full response, a costed one was mentioned by the deputy minister, and get the resources for the people who carry out that really critical service. Please move it forward. I'm happy to consider a supplementary appropriate, if necessary, but those people do completely thankless work, and we need to resource that service properly. Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you. I had this discussion with the department very soon after I took this file. I think the Member knows that I like costed plans with timelines, and so I've asked the department to go ahead and do that work. We hope to have something in the near future. Thank you.

No. Thanks, Madam Chair, and thanks to the Minister and his staff. I'll probably be asking about the status of it in May/June, so just a little head's up. Thank you. That's all I've got. Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. On page 276, community justice committees and projects. What percentage of that money stays in Yellowknife, and what percentage goes to the communities? Thank you, Madam Chair.
