Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the honourable Minister of Health and Social Services, Mr. Kelvin Ng. It is with regard to the Joe Greenland Centre, which is in the process of being negotiated for community transfer to the Aklavik Aboriginal Committee, which consists of the hamlet, the band and the Inuvialuit.
At the present time, those negotiations have been proceeding for a number of months. They are looking at possible conclusion of those negotiations this fall. I would like to ask the Minister if he can assure me that he will allow the negotiations to be completed and not impose on those negotiations. They should allow that to succeed in the free spirit of negotiations Could I get that assurance from the Minister? Will he allow those negotiations to proceed without interference, especially with regard to the fees that have been imposed on others?
