Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Minister's portfolios are very much people portfolios. We are talking about some various serious human needs here in the Northwest Territories when we look at Justice and at Health and Social Services. We are not talking about roads, pipelines or airports. We are talking about very personal, human needs. There is something that I have always kind of wondered about when I look at various departments, and that is where is the passion and the compassion for the needs that are out there. I do not expect the Minister or the deputy Minister to carry all this themselves, but when I look at the needs in the Northwest Territories, I feel very strongly about them. As I said, these are very much people portfolios. How does the Minister feel about his role, his portfolios and his responsibilities? Thank you.
