Thank you, Mr. Chair. Is this kind of a one-time funding program, or is this something we can make further application to or expand upon given our -- I know we're over-policed per capita but it still seems like -- well, the residents that I speak to still have public safety concerns, significant ones. So this is an additional way to bolster our police services contract without expending our limited resources. It would be preferable to just paying more money. So is there more opportunity to expand this funding source so we can further expand our range of -- or our police presence in the community? Thank you.

Thank you. That's more than I expected. I doubt you'll be able to answer this, but the Dettah -- I don't think there's a Dettah detachment. So that's probably a Yellowknife-based position that's there to service Dettah? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And where are these -- do we know where these officers are located, or is that a G-division question? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And is this part of the police services contract or a separate program? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, can the Minister explain what this funding is for. Is it for staff positions, training programs? Thank you.
Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters February 27th, 2024
Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chair. I mean, I do feel for the Minister because she's not responsible for Health and Social Services so perhaps when these substantiations are coming forward, Members are going to -- are bound to have more program-specific questions, that the responsible departments can provide a bit more detail to the Minister at the table. So they can answer these questions directly before we vote on the financial item. That's just a general comment. Nothing further. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chair. So, yeah, I appreciate that. I would just like to know -- get a better sense of how this is impacting foster care and children in care in the Northwest Territories. So one of them is is the Minister going to provide kind of a written response to committee? Or if she could just explain how and when we'll get the information back to us. Thank you.

Which is reflected -- thank you, Mr. Chair. And is that reflected in these numbers, or is that an additional cost that will have to come up? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And, again, forgive me if I've missed -- overlooked this or have misheard this, but the change to March 1st -- in March 1st, what is that change? Thank you.
