Mr. Chairman, before you get to page 2-17 and 2-18, I would like to indicate that for the record, a potential exists for a conflict of interest for myself, so I will not participate in discussion or vote on these pages.

Just one question, Mr. Chairman, the Status of Women Council of the Northwest Territories, that is not the Native Women's Association, is it? Are the Native Women's Association being funded by this government?

Mr. Chairman, the Native Women's Association does receive a healthy funding from the Northwest Territories. The Status of Women is a different group, they are funded to meet a number of times a year, and the Women's Directorate lends support to the Status of Women.

Mr. Chairman, I know there was a discussion at one time from a certain Member and I did ask them that question, would they receive an applicant from a male person, and the response that a number of them gave me was, yes, as long as they felt that the male person was in support of women.
