Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have no really big objection to the statement made by the Leader of the government this morning, nor do I have any strong objections to the document, "Strength at Two Levels." I read it through and made a couple of thousand notes. The only general concern I have is that not too long ago the government had a project called "Devolution of the Government." When that happened, the regional groups such as Keewatin Regional Council or divisional boards of education became rather active and strong in the deliberation of that devolution program. We have been seeing in the last few years that the government is again taking back the power from the regional organizations to Yellowknife.

In "Strength at Two Levels," would the communities or community governments in this document, if they are active, become rather strong in the deliberation of their local programs such as housing, social services and health? When things like that become complicated, the leaders become more sophisticated and really work hard at that. I wonder if, in the near future when the government finds out that the communities are becoming too strong, would they not want to take that back again to Yellowknife like they did to the regional organizations? That is the only concern I have. If we implement this in any way, I do not want to turn around and say to my constituents that we have to take it back because they are getting too strong.
