Thank you, Mr. Speaker. What I will do is, I will pass along information to the House from notes I gave to the Premier, in my report to him this morning. Over the last few days, I represented the Northwest Territories as part of a Canadian delegation to Greenland which was led by the Honourable Ron Irwin, Minister of DIAND. The delegation consisted of senior political and business leaders from Canada, and we were able to meet with our counter-parts in Greenland to share ideas and information.
I was very pleased to be part of a delegation which consisted of key Inuit political leaders from Canada, which included John Amagoalik, from the Nunavut Implementation Commission, Josie Kusugak, from NTI, Mary Sillett, from ITC, Rosemary Kuptana, from ICC and Ambassador to Circumpolar Affairs, Mary Simon and Zebedee Nungak, from Makavik Corporation. During a meeting of Greenland cabinet, I was asked to chair discussions that ranged in topics from Greenland's Home Rule system, about the fiscal management and ours. We exchanged information on housing programs, education, government structures and their system of justice.
I also want to mention to the House during this trip to Greenland, on the way back I represented the GNWT in the signing of the Nunavut Unified Human Resource Development Contribution Agreement, which is of $5 million value. This program will help provide the funding for a variety of education and training strategies, to assist the Inuit to be prepared to take advantage of employment opportunities that will be available with the creation of Nunavut.
