Thank you. During the last week and half there were questions to the Premier about her role and the workload that the Premier has. A lot of the emphasis in the questions was whether or not there was going to be a review of the role and a shuffling of some portfolios. Now that several days have passed, has the Premier had time to reflect on the line of questioning from last week and what plan of action is the Premier going to take in this regard?

Mr. Chairman, there are contributions made to the Status of Women of $312,000 and the Native Women's Association of $175,000. In the Ministers' offices activity, we also have the Women's Advisory and Public Affairs Divisions. Could the Minister explain how these two different groups work together? Are they totally separate, independent groups or do they provide administrative services to the Status of Women Council?

Mr. Chairman, the NWT Status of Women Council is a separate organization that provides ongoing support towards women's issues in the Northwest Territories. Bertha Norwegian is a special advisor to me and she handles the grants program that goes to a number of agencies upon their requests. I can provide a list of those people who have accessed the grant program through the special advisor to the Minister.
