Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Would the Minister express in strong terms to the federal Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs; we know we're attempting to take over the responsibility for minerals, and in the meantime either they provide the adequate resources here to deal with the most mining activity we've had here in years or they allow your department to deal with it. They can't have it both ways. They can't have control of mining and then cut back in their staff here in the Northwest Territories. Can I ask the Minister for that assurance, please?
