Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Minister responsible for MACA. It is in reference to the community empowerment and also community transfers. Mr. Speaker, I raise the concern of the transfer of liability provisions to the hamlets. Mr. Speaker, in an agreement that was signed with the Hamlet of Baker Lake. It stipulated that the GNWT agrees to transfer to the council the responsibility and liability, in so doing relinquishes the Minister from any responsibility and liability. The council agrees to accept all associated liabilities. Mr. Speaker, my question to the Minister is, have all the hamlets been clearly advised of the fact that they have to assume all liability? Are they clearly aware of it? Also, are these small communities able to secure this type of insurance? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
