That is sort of what I am looking for. Right now, if a patient presents in Fort Resolution at the health centre then the referral is to Yellowknife. My question was that if a person presents at the health centre, is it an easy possibility for them, today, if their medical travel would be covered today to get referred to a doctor if there is a general practitioner in Hay River?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have questions for the Minister of Health and Social Services. With the new health transformation right now, four communities that I represent all go through the Yellowknife Health and Social Services Authority. However, Fort Resolution is in close proximity to Hay River. Right now, people have to go from Fort Resolution to Hay River, get on a plane early in the morning, come here for appointments, possibly overnight and then back to Fort Resolution.

Mr. Speaker, in my Member's statement I indicated the return on investment for this program. The report indicates a return in investment. I use the number 2.5 times return and the potential return would be 3.7, so that's quite substantial. Considering these enormous returns, how does the Minister feel about the government supporting this program moving forward?

Marci Cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions today are for the Minister of Environment and Natural Resources. Researchers with Social Ventures Australia, a firm that has assessed a federally funded Aboriginal Stewardship Program in Australia for the Prime Minister and Cabinet just released a case study of Indigenous Guardian Programs run by Lutsel K’e and Dehcho First Nations. I'd like to ask the Minister if he's aware of the findings in that report. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to ask the Minister if there will be financial resources available in 2017-18 for enhanced homecare services or if it is part of the continuing care services? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, I'd like to ask the Minister what actions were taken this fiscal year, 2016-2017, to improve the home care services even if it's within the continuing care?

Marci cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I wish to recognize some people from Tu NedheWiilideh. I'd like to recognize in the gallery William Buggins. He's from Rocher River, so you will hear more about Rocher River later on this week. Caitlyn Beck from Ndilo, from Range Lake North School, is working with us here today, as a page. I have two interpreters interpreting for the languages from Tu NedheWiilideh, Mary Rose Sundberg and Tom Unka from Fort Resolution. Mary Rose is from Detah. Thank you.

Marci cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I, too, rise to support this motion. I went to the open house that A New Day had yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised by how much help they provided to people in the communities. I know that people from the communities I represent would be people that would attend the A New Day program. One stat that they gave us that kind of really hit home with me was the number of individuals that walked in off the street and voluntarily went there to get the help of these individuals running the program. I think, for me, that's an indication of how well this program...
