Marsi cho. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize the two interpreters we have from Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh, Mr. Tommy Unka and Mary Rose Sundberg. I would also like to recognize my new CA, Pascal Erasmus, who is in the gallery today. Thank you.

Marsi cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to speak about the justice system in Canada. Over the past few weeks, we have seen two high-profile court cases in Manitoba and Saskatchewan that have sparked mass outrage and protest within Indigenous communities across the country. The court cases I'm speaking about are that of Colten Boushie and Tina Fontaine, both of whom are young Indigenous youth who were murdered.

Colten Boushie was shot in the back of the head in 2016 and Tina Fontaine was a missing girl whose body was found in the Winnipeg Red River in 2014. The suspects in both...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I have a question for the contaminated site remediation section. I notice the budget here of $319,000. I am wondering: how come there is so little money in that budget when there are so many sites? I recognize that the sites are split between the federal government and the GNWT at the time that the devolution agreement was signed, but I just can't imagine what you can do with that much money, or that little money, I should say, maybe. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have spoken to former inmates, some who have long records and long incarceration backgrounds. Particularly two adult former inmates indicate to me that the biggest help that they had while they were incarcerated was working with mental health workers. I would like to ask the Minister if he could commit to looking at increasing the number of mental health workers, I guess, maybe working with the Department of Health or on their own to have mental health workers in the correction facilities to work with the inmates? Thank you.

I would like to ask the Minister if he would commit to directing the Department of Justice to lead a government working group -- I am not speaking of the Ministers but maybe of a lower level of working group -- to incorporate some changes to reduce the Indigenous inmate population.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, since 2013-2014, 712 Northerners have been approved for residential placements in southern facilities, with 467 completions, 152 early or self-led discharges, and 102 self-cancellations. Note that these figures likely reflect multiple sessions for the same individuals.

Most recently, roughly three quarters of Northerners who started residential addictions treatment in 2016 completed a full session. When we set out on our tour, point-in-time data indicated that 38 adult Northerners were in residential treatment. This group ranged in age from 24 to 60 years...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I don't have any further questions at this point.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, committee would like to consider Tabled Document 63-18(3), Main Estimates 2018-2019, with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
