Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just to confirm, we're on out of territory services, right? Okay.
So the budget for residential care for out of territory services, so that would cover supportive living arrangements for adults in a residential or group home setting for extended periods of time in facilities outside the NWT. And so I understand that in many cases that the people that would require this kind of residential care might have very specialized needs or, like, particular conditions that, you know, can't be met with services or facilities inside the NWT. But I'm also hearing from the NWT Disabilities Council and other advocates that in some cases, we have adults with certain challenges that could actually be met if there were increased supports for them to be able to stay at home or assisted living or ways that they could remain at home and remain in the community and that it's actually costing the territory much more money by sending them out of the territory to live for extended periods of time. Sometimes they can't really come back and live.
Has the Minister considered or done analysis of the number of cases of adults being sent for residential care outside the territory and what -- how many might have benefitted from better services inside the territory that could be provided that would assist them to stay at home and stay in their communities? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
