Marci cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I didn't know that some members of my riding were in. I see Bertha Catholique up there; she's an interpreter from Lutselk'e now, and Vance Anderson, who is my grandson's father. Thank you.

Marci cho, Mr. Speaker. [Translation] Today, I would like to talk about International Women's Day. I would like to talk about the ladies, all who are sitting here today. Today, I would like to talk about my mother. [End of translation] I would like to rise to pay tribute and thank the person with the greatest influence in my life, my mom.

Mr. Speaker, my mom was born April 30, 1934, in a place called Rocher River, as Annie Else Ana. Later, when she started school, they gave her her father's name, "Look." She went to school for only a couple of years, because there was so much pressure upon her...

I indicated in my Member's statement that 8 per cent of the families with children in care were actually income issues, but I would guess that it would be a lot higher; but there are other reasons for the child apprehension or child protection laws. I was wondering if the Minister could commit to always getting the income of the household where there is a Child and Family Services case too?

Marci cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in my Member's statement I talked about Child and Family Services training. I'd like to ask the Minister a few questions on that. Can the Minister expand on the curriculum and its requirements such as duration of the training completion requirements, like pass and fail, what would happen, and if there are any plans for refresher requirements? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Marci cho, Mr. Speaker.
