(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This a written question to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs regarding the elimination of the regional director's position.
The regional director in the Baffin has provided very good support to the Baffin Regional Council and now the Baffin Leaders' Summit. How is it intended that the Baffin Leaders' Summit will be provided with this support in future if the regional director's position is to be eliminated?
If the regional director's position is to be removed and one department in the region will take over his responsibilities with regard to the Baffin Leaders' Summit, how will the total government's perspective be maintained for the Baffin Leaders' Summit?
At present, funding for the Baffin Leaders' Summit is provided by the Department of Executive, through the regional director's office. If the regional director's position is to be eliminated, how will the funding to the Baffin Leaders' Summit be provided? Mr. Speaker, will the Baffin Leaders' Summit continue to be provided with funding for its meetings in the coming year? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
