Thank you, Madam Chair. Actually, I’ll just wait until we get to page 13. That’s where my question is at. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Given the fact that the inmates at North Slave Correctional Centre have come forward with a petition identifying the need for addiction treatment centres, I’m wondering if the Minister can give us some kind of indication today whether or not he’ll look at a survey or a study of the inmate population here in the Northwest Territories that we can look at trying to find out why they’re in prison, finding common themes and asking them what we might be able to do as a government to help keep them out of jail. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you. I was just told that he is adding another clause under clause 5, Mr. Menicoche. To the motion.

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Can the Minister of MACA state unequivocally that the subdivision is in fact in Ndilo proper? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’m just wondering, the Minister didn’t mention whether or not there’s any dialogue that happens between his department, the Department of Justice, and Health and Social Services, in terms of trying to find out why inmates are in jail and what we can do as a government to try to keep them out of there. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. Mr. Dent.

Thank you. On clause 1, Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you, Madam Chair. If I could maybe get that response from the Minister of MACA in terms of where exactly in Ndilo the proposed subdivision is. Thank you.

Good question.
