Thank you, Mr. Chair. Nothing further.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Thank you to the Minister for that answer. One of the things this means for the NWT, and for all provinces and territories, is that Indigenous government organizations have an opportunity to become responsible for child and family services in their own jurisdictions. What role does the Minister see the GNWT having with respect to helping Indigenous government organizations take on this responsibility? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have one more question, and that is about recalculation efforts. We passed some legislation in the last Assembly about recalculation, making it a simpler process. Can the Minister tell us whether that is now in effect or, if not, when it will come into effect? Thank you.

My more specific question is: whether the order in which children will be placed, if they are taken into care, is that exactly the same order that exists in our Child and Family Services Act?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have a question for the Minister about maintenance enforcement. Can the Minister give us an idea of how effective maintenance enforcement is in transferring money collected to the people who are applying for it? Thank you.

Madam Speaker, this is an area of historic conflict. I hope that with 1,000 Indigenous children in care in the NWT, Indigenous government organizations will lead the way in self-government in child and family services. I will have questions for the Minister of Health and Social Services. Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Nothing further.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Can the Minister tell us about some of the community partners and what assistance, exactly, they are going to provide? Thank you.

Nothing further. Thank you.

Yes, thank you. Does the Minister have any insight into why there has been a drop-off in both registrations and completions year over year? I realize it's a very small sample, but are there any thoughts to why the program has less uptake than it used to, even a year ago? Thank you.
