Thanks, Mr. Speaker. I can always depend on the Minister to give me a complete, comprehensive and exhaustive response to a question which asks him about the status. My question asked him about the status, and his answer was that this is a discussion paper. My question is, since the people from the Inuvik region have met with the western Members and have said to the western Members, "We know what we want. You've gone ahead devolving powers to communities. Let us go ahead with this regional government because we know what it is we want." My question to the Minister is -- although he was part of that group of western MLAs -- have the same people approached the Minister as a Member of our Cabinet responsible for aboriginal affairs and constitutional development, to get on with it because the people know what they want?
