Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Minister Abernethy.
Thank you, Madam Chair. This is about the departments working together for the common good, trying to improve services for youth. This isn’t an elimination of the entire program in Education, Culture and Employment but it is a recognition that by working together we’re able to support a Healthy Family Program in the Beaufort-Delta, in Tuk in particular, and this is our way of working together to float some money. We’re also partnering with the community and with the Inuvialuit to make this happen. This isn’t an elimination in any way of the education program. This is us working together to provide a Healthy Family Program with partners in the Beaufort-Delta, Tuk in particular.
Thanks to Minister Abernethy. I’m still not totally clear. So, am I correct in saying that the Child and Family Resource Program has been reduced in the amount of funding they will get and that the Healthy Family Program has been increased in the amount of money they get, that the criteria for both programs will remain the same? Thank you.
The program within Education, Culture and Employment continues to exist. There were some similarities in the program and in working with the Inuvialuit in Tuk, there was a recognition that by all of us pooling together and working together with the Inuvialuit, we can provide the different components of the program in Tuk. So, it’s a tailored approach to meet specific community needs, but it doesn’t mean that the education program doesn’t exist and isn’t being provided elsewhere. It also doesn’t mean that the healthy family programs being supported by Health and Social Services are changing elsewhere. However, if we’re approached by communities and they have some creative solutions on how we can work together to get maximum benefit for our dollars and incorporate involvement from different communities, we’re certainly open to that opportunity, as we were in this case.
