All right, thank you. So, in Fort Simpson's case, we have a body that is not the municipal government that is leasing land for a quarry. With this amendment to the bill, would that allow this arrangement to continue or does the village have to take the main role and, in turn, lease it to the company who is leasing the quarry at the present time? Thank you.

Thank you. Madam Minister.

Mr. Chairman, this legislation doesn't change the present situation.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I understand that this by-law might apply outside the boundaries of the municipalities with respect to sewage, public incinerators, public garbage, water, fire protection, et cetera. My concern with Coral Harbour is that it is a dry community. Our airport is 11 miles away, outside the municipality at the moment, although the hamlet has made a proposal to MACA to extend the boundary to the airport. We have not received a response yet for that proposal.

However, it is not extended and our legal regulations require that prohibition be within the boundary of the hamlet. If and when the municipal boundaries are extended to the airport, there is still a question of whether this particular airport, within the municipality, belongs to the Ministry of Transport, which is the Government of the Northwest Territories. There is a question of whether it is a municipal operation on municipal property. Although the Department of Public Works is within the hamlet and on municipal land and has to conform to municipal by-laws, the RCMP always have a question about whether we can impose search and seizure of illegal liquor from aircraft. The question is, does it belong to the municipal government or hamlets?

Why is this provision allowing the municipalities to deal with sewage and drainage systems, public incineration, water distributions systems, et cetera, and airports, or facilities for aircraft excludes the prohibition regulation in some communities?

Thank you, Mr. Arvaluk. I think the issue of liquor seizure at airports is beyond the scope of the bill. Madam Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'll let the legal counsel respond to that because it is a legal question.

Mr. Flynn.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The liquor prohibition and restriction regulations are made under the Liquor Act and not under the municipal acts, so the scope and application of those regulations is dictated by that act. It is not a scheme or regime that is established under municipal legislation. Thank you.

Thank you. General comments on Bill 11, An Act to Amend the Hamlets Act. Mr. Arvaluk.
