When it comes to violence in the smaller communities where there is not a shelter, I'm going to speak to the Beaufort Delta specifically, which consists of nine communities in the upper part of the Northwest Territories. They include Tuktoyaktuk, Sachs Harbour, Paulatuk, Fort McPherson, Tsiigehtchic, Inuvik and Aklavik. In that area, there are two shelters. One is an emergency shelter in Tuk. The other is the transitional home in Inuvik.
If somebody in Sachs Harbour needs to access the transitional home in Inuvik, they have to get the approval of the nurse in charge so that they can fly from Sachs Harbour to Inuvik to use the shelter. This isn't if they feel they need to utilize the shelter; this is how they get approval to use the shelter. It's considered to be part of health care, which it is not. It should have its own budget line and not be part of health because that is a conflict of interest.
