Thank you, Mr. Chairman, before we conclude this activity, I would like to bring to the attention of the Minister that there has been a concern in my constituency of Gjoa Haven. According to the information I gathered, Mr. Chairman, a number of years ago the regional director for the Kitikmeot region turned the D.P.W. building over to the community to a group called Kingnat. The group specializes in carvings. About three weeks ago, before I came to this meeting, I had the opportunity of meeting with the group and I saw hope in their eyes and pride in their ability to earn their own money rather than draw welfare. I believe this government discourages that, unless the person is in dire need of that service or program. People who I have met emphasized, and they were quite serious about it, that they would like to keep that building that they acquired through the former regional director. I am told by this group the regional director who took over the region, is not going to be turning the building over to that group. I am told that he would rather lease the building to that group. The community wants to own that building. Everyone of us know there is pride in owning your own building. I would like to know if the Minister would use his power to turn this building over to the community. I know he may not be able to answer me at this point, but it is very important for this group in Gjoa Haven. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It sounds like a good idea to me, but I understand it is a Cabinet decision. I will present a paper to Cabinet.
