That’s all for this page. Thank you.

Thank you. I believe the Minister was talking about ’15-16 for the $1 million contribution, which there I feel that is significant and I’m looking forward to that.

Could I get a cost per day, an average cost per day for an inmate, say an adult male and a juvenile in corrections? Thank you.

I am very happy to hear that about the family law clients. Did the Minister have handy on what the variation is on the 60-day average across the NWT?

Thanks, Mr. Chair, and thanks for that response from the deputy minister. I believe it was 2009 when we passed that legislation, and I guess I would appreciate an update at some point on some of those statistics, and I think it would be useful for the department to look at that and see where we’re at on that. I know it wasn’t without some kerfuffle. So just any sort of evaluation on how that’s working out would be much appreciated. That’s all I had. Thank you.

So, what additional resources would be in this budget – and if there is another area to pursue this, then I am happy to do that – that will provide the increased capacity needed to deal with taking on the enforcement aspects of land and resource management?

Just to follow up a little bit more here, is the Minister able to say in this forum what the time schedule is for rolling out this pilot project? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I want to start by asking how many legal aid lawyers we currently have on staff, what the wait times currently are and how they vary across the Northwest Territories.

Thanks to the Minister. That’s an interesting thought. Again, I don’t see this as the coroner’s office. I think, in terms of a policing role, this department is well qualified to do that, but that’s not what I was suggesting either.

What I’m suggesting is bringing clarity and transparency to the public that the coroner’s recommendations in his or her report are actually received by the institution that they’re directed to and that there is a response. It doesn’t have to be yes, we’re going to do that; it could be we’re already doing that or whatever, or we’re not going to respond, but something...

That’s an education in itself.

The other area I am wondering about, I know from my experience with the AANDC offices, that when the mine inspection division had cases to be made and took it to Justice at the federal level, they repeatedly declined to take on that legal action, and obviously this has consequences because things get worse and worse and it is a bit of a sliding slope, so I want to know that this government is preparing for that. Now, this may not be the right division for this and I would welcome the Ministers’ direction on where to bring this up, but I am looking or will be...

Thank you, Madam Chair. That makes sense to me.

I assume that integrated case management is the Justice side of things, that it’s primarily Justice staff that are working on it and it relates to the legal or, in this case, perhaps quasi-legal aspects of the case. Is that correct? Thank you.
