Mr. Speaker, the answer is probably getting out of here, so that we can get to the communities and start discussing it. I would like to say that the regional directors could be more involved. In the eastern Arctic it is not going to be as difficult, because there is one form of government that everyone is accepting. Certainly, one of the areas that takes up time is deciding on what is going to be the lead governmental type agency. That takes a little bit more time to discuss. I certainly would like to work more closely with communities, to encourage them to have complex discussions and get over some of the fears that they have in taking over some of the responsibility. I think that the discussions that have taken place so far have not been unproductive.
People want their questions answered in detail if they take over certain responsibilities, they want to know exactly what they are going to be and how much we are willing to give. Certainly in a couple of the communities with which I have been involved with the expectations of community transfers they have asked, "does this mean that we are going to get all the things that M.L.A.s were not able to deliver? This is our wish list." It really does take more community education, and hands-on work with people because there are a lot of individuals who are used to living with established procedures. Leaders in some communities face a reluctance from other community members to be represented. It is a matter of dealing with fairness at a community level, so that when the transfers do actually take place, people are happy that they are all going to be treated fairly.
I certainly would have preferred things to move much more quickly, but at the same time we have to give the communities the benefit of resolving the way they are going to be set up. This takes a little more time. Thank you.
