Thank you Mr. Chairperson. Perhaps I will speak in Inuktitut at this time. If you can listen to your headphones and just not talk to one another.
(Translator) What you had mentioned, I have great respect for and I thank him for it. I am sure there are a lot of issues that are of concern to other people aside from just the MLA's. The people who are looking after the communities are taught how to look after financial situations in the communities as well as the Community Councils know how to operate a community corporation for the community. The community will not be given a responsibility that they are not capable of handling. They have to be worked through until they are to the point that they can handle the situation. They will be advised. At first an advisory role will be given to the administrators as to how, what is possible, with the responsibility that they will be required to take. After the advisory situation, then the community will decide. The administrator of the community will be advised if he would like, if they are capable of handling. After realizing as to how capable the community people are of handling situations the community will set up an agreement or a detailed understanding as to what they are capable of handling. If they cannot handle it, then only after they have understood fully what they can understand - what administration feel then they will be able to take over.
It will be accomplished in small steps. Maybe there at least ten steps to follow through that you can go through community consultation process, the educational process. They will find out exactly what they can handle. There is no way that you could be scared of the fact that something will be missing. From each department they will have a Memorandum of Agreement and after that then they will be able to look after the community themselves.
Any of the communities who can handle a situation and if they are capable of understanding exactly what responsibilities that they are responsible for, then in regards to Nunavut with regards to community empowerment it is in the same field as getting self government. For instance, taking care of land administration then we will be able to handle land administration as well as having community people who can take care of land administration and this will be in line with the community self government. Thank you Mr. Chairman.
