Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The development of the constitution for the western Arctic will eventually have to be accepted by every citizen who lives in this part of the Northwest Territories. I think it is important, right from the outset that somehow they are informed and kept informed as we go along with the process. We have good national examples in Meech Lake and the Charlottetown Accord where citizens were not directly involved in the development of the constitutional development. We see the results of that today. What we are working on in the west is something that could be very beneficial for everyone in the long run, if people at the community level are made aware of the process. I would like to ask the Minister if he is going to do a press release or press conference to let the public know exactly what is going on in the development of the constitution in the west. Mahsi.
