Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Health and Social Services with regard to the community action fund that my colleague for Yellowknife North just made reference to. I met last Thursday evening with the board of the Metis Nation in Fort Smith and they indicated that they, as well, had a concern about the disbursement of the funds that were given to the community through the town council to disburse. My suggestion to them is that they should, in fact, sit down with the other groups in the community -- the Metis Nation, the town and the band, as the three main political groups -- and if they're not happy with the criteria, to definitely take the steps to straighten it out so that it does meet their needs for the coming year.

My question to the Minister: Has he attempted to address the concern of the Member for Yellowknife North about more direction in terms of conditions for use of these funds? I suggest that he not make it too stringent and that he allow as much latitude as possible for the community and the groups in the community to, in fact, make those decisions so that we can have both our concerns addressed -- which, I think, are the same -- and help promote the whole initiative of community wellness and community empowerment. I think this is one step along that path. Thank you.
