Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the document that the Member refers to is not before this House, and is not intended to be a public document. I am not sure that it would necessarily serve the public interest to talk about something which was an initial kick-at-the-can, as I said earlier, in which we were taking a look at how to restructure library services. I think, Mr. Speaker, the intention is to recognize that there is a problem with the way libraries are handled right now. There are 40 communities in the Northwest Territories that do not receive any funding for libraries. So, while the Members' communities of Baker Lake and Arviat do get funding for libraries, in the same region, Chesterfield, Repulse and Coral Harbour get nothing for libraries.
