Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Minister of Finance who is responsible for the Liquor Licensing Board. Recently, Members of this House received a copy of the Public Committees Boards and Councils Handbook. I noted the Liquor Licensing Board currently has five members, one of which is from Yellowknife. Mr. Speaker, with the government's agenda for change and much emphasis is placed on community empowerment so that local decisions can be made at the community that is most effected by them; from that end, one of the main functions of the Liquor Licensing Board is to receive applications to sell liquor in the Northwest Territories. As there is only one board member who is the chair on the liquor licensing board representing Yellowknife, my question to the Minister is, will he consider increasing the number of representatives from Yellowknife? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
