Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yesterday we heard the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs make a statement on land reform initiatives. I have a number of questions for the Minister on this issue.

Mr. Speaker, who will be making the decisions about land pricing at the community level?

The Deputy Speaker John Ningark

Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs, Mrs. Thompson.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, where land is owned by the community government, decisions about land pricing will be made by the community governments. This will be the case in Nunavut and will be the case for the next year or two in the Inuvik region where land ownership is devolved to community governments. On Commissioner's land, the GNWT will be working with community governments to determine the best strategies for recovering land development costs. Until land is transferred to community governments, the GNWT will make decisions on pricing Commissioner's land. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Communities in the East and West have been very clear about their desire to strengthen their authority and responsibility and this government is committed to ensuring that we move forward to ensure that these opportunities are provided. In the East, due to land claim agreements, communities have full control of land within their boundaries. In the West, where claims are settled, the same opportunities for devolution of land authority and responsibility for land development pricing are available. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Justice. Earlier, the Minister replied to a question I had asked on May 3rd concerning an electronic monitoring program for NWT offenders. The Minister referred to several discussions and reports in his answer to my question. Does the Minister have these reports or access to them and does he have the results of the various discussions he referred to?

The Deputy Speaker John Ningark

Thank you. Minister of Justice, Mr. Ng.
