Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As this is an advisory committee to the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs, I am not aware of which other stakeholders are involved in the process. The only information I have at the present time is that the Department of Renewable Resources is involved and the other two departments of the Government of the Northwest Territories. I am able to respond to questions on behalf of the Department of Renewable Resources. But when it comes to the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs, I am not able to respond on their behalf. This is as much information as I have at the present time with regard to the regional environmental review committee. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Since this has been raised in this House so many times as the biggest project this territory has ever seen, and since BHP has to know by March 15th whether this road will go or not because it has to get equipment in by the summer, and since this Minister is the Minister responsible for environmental matters that affect all the people of the Northwest Territories under the responsibilities of this government, I would like to ask him whether that decision is promised in the very near future, so the deadline can be made.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. With regard to the amendment to the application, that application was made to the Minister of the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs. I believe that the regional environmental review committee has made their recommendation to the Minister or to the regional officials of the department and I understand that it is in the hands of the Minister. I have not been in direct contact with the Minister recently, but I believe the decision will be made by the Minister of the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The other day, Mr. Speaker, I asked whether the government had any type of public policies, but my question was taken as notice. Today, I would like to ask a question to the Premier. Does the government have any economic strategies and policies that govern their relationship with community-based organizations versus that of individually-owned business entities? Thank you.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Will the Minister then be tabling the revised organizational charts of the restructured departments, which would include the names of the incumbents in each position at headquarters level?

I understand that the next stage in the amalgamation of the departments is going to happen at regional and community levels. Can the Minister advise us what the amalgamation of these departments are at the regional levels?

Mr. Speaker, at this point in time, we are working with the regions. There have been several workshops that brought in the health boards, superintendents and the more prominent positions within Health and Social Services. We have had two or three workshops. I also attended the regional health board meetings, where we have had discussions, with the attendance of superintendents, social workers and the Social Services department to look at a strategy where we can work on putting together resources from the Department of Health and from the Department of Social Services. We haven't had the opportunity to talk to the specific groupings of people in some areas. We hope that over the next few months we will be able to deal more directly with the people who will be affected and we will be able to make those changes in a smooth and effective manner. Thank you.
