Written Question 8-19(2): Repatriation of Northwest Territories Residents with Disabilities

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. My question today is for the Minister of Health and Social Services in regard to repatriating Northwest Territories residents with disabilities living in southern residential placements:

How many people are living in southern residential placements?

What is the total cost the Government of the Northwest Territories is spending to support Northwest Territories residents with disabilities living in southern residential placements?

What region-specific support services would be required to support people with disabilities to live in their home communities?

What would a phased repatriation plan look like to support people with disabilities living in their home communities?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
