Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as mentioned by Mr. Miltenberger, the office of regional director is to be abolished. This is thought to be consistent with the move towards community transfers and community empowerment and that any necessary regional coordination role can be carried out by MACA. I disagree. Moreover, the model of government that NIC has suggested for Nunavut is predicated on the familiar and the efficient role of the regional director position and that the regional government is guided and coordinated by the regional director. Mr. Speaker, my question for the Minister is what will the GNWT put in place to correspond with the function of the regional director as envisioned in the NIC report. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
