(Translation missing) Whenever there is a request for transfer from different government departments, we try to accommodate the communities that request them. Only if treaty Indians request this kind of service can we go ahead and accommodate them. But, we can not make decisions like this on our own. When a hamlet requests government transfer, we can not go ahead with just their request alone. We have to ask the communities, the Dene groups, the band councils as well as other government bodies. If there is support from the Metis as well, then we can go ahead and support this kind of initiative. We can not go ahead and support this unless it is supported by all people in the community. Mahsi, Madam Speaker.
