Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I welcome the Minister's commitment to take a careful look at the development of policy. I believe these people are also responsible for dealing with legislation and I think that reviewing proposed changes to legislation may be taking up a great deal of their time. Just as a comment, I believe we need to provide more depth by ensuring that all of the positions for policy development are filled. There needs to be proper support in the department for examination of policy. I will take the Minister's answer as indication that that is the direction they are moving and I hope they will move as quickly as possible in that way.

I have one other question. I believe we will find the majority of the funding for AIDS strategies in this activity. Along with other Members, I recently received a letter from the Minister talking about the work of three working groups which are going to help the government develop a strategy on HIV and AIDS in the Northwest Territories. I was wondering if we could get, for the record, an outline of exactly what the department is doing to deal with AIDS in the Northwest Territories in this budget.
