Thank you, Madam Chairman. And I just want to thank the Minister and your colleagues for being here and to give us an update on your budget and everything else.
So I don't really have a question to the budget. But I have a couple -- I want to frame this this way here. When I go through your budget though, I'm just trying to understand what's -- what you guys are really doing as Justice overall. But what came to mind as I was going through this document is that, you know, I guess when I think about residential school and federal day school, all the trauma that's been happening to -- of the people here in the Northwest Territories and throughout Canada, you know, there are -- the Royal Commission report. There's UNDRIP. There's Truth and Reconciliation report.
So I'm wondering, like, you know, we have a huge undertaking here in the North, and especially in your department, and we could see the impacts in the facilities and etcetera here. But I'm trying to see a way how we could maybe -- as a government, maybe through the Premier and your department, look at how we could maybe try to work with all the Indigenous governments and come up with maybe a separate department or something to that effect under the justice department to really look at how can we come up with a plan to address a lot of these issues that we're having. And we know that, you know, you're limited in terms of money for your department but, you know, when you really take a look at, you know, this whole initiative from the federal day school and residential school, we're stemming from Government of Canada.
So is there a way where we could maybe try to figure out a plan and maybe work with Cabinet and going into the next government somehow, and work with Indigenous governments, to come up with a plan to tackle this because, you know, we can't bear all the costs to undertake the problems we're having today in the system but I think Canada is going to have to step up and really take a look at -- I mean, there's a lot of reports -- I mean a lot work has been done under the Royal Commission like I mentioned, Truth and Reconciliation report and including UNDRIP. It talks about the clarity and some of the roles and responsibilities etcetera. But anyway, it's kind of an open statement and a question maybe the Premier -- sorry, the Minister could maybe -- maybe talk about that briefly and see if there's room for bringing this forward maybe into the next government. Thank you.
