Thank you. Thank you, Madam Chair. And, you know, if it wasn't for, you know, the NGOs in the communities, you know, like in Hay River we got the Soaring Eagle Friendship Centre; we have the Women's Resource Centre; we have the Council for Disabilities. You know, they all contribute. They all -- they all go, you know, beyond. They're always, you know, hamstrung by -- by funds. They use a lot of volunteers. And, you know, if it wasn't for those type of organizations, we probably wouldn't be doing what we are in the communities. So, you know, it's great that we -- we have them, and we have to support them.
I want to just talk about this all-government approach, because I hear it; it's a nice term. You know, it feels good. What it does, I'm not quite sure. You know, I can see that, you know, we've got several departments. I see them sitting down talking about what's best. But it's when they go away, and -- you know, and I expect that the Housing Corporation is left holding the bag and is expected to do all the work. So, you know, what I'd like to know is what comes out of this all-government approach? How is that -- how is that delivered in -- at the ground level in the communities? Does it include participation from each department? Is there still ongoing discussion after the fact? Or is ever -- it's just each on their own?
For instance, health has -- you know, they look in Hay River; they provide funding for the day shelter. They -- the Housing Corporation provides funding for the night shelter. So, you know, so there's a little bit of a disconnect there, whether they talk together, I don't know. So I just kind of wondering there what the -- you know, how do we translate this all-government approach into what's actually happening on the ground, and if there is actually some type of coordination and buy-in? Thank you, Madam Chair.
