Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am glad to hear that the policy is being reviewed because I know the federal government provides funding to band councils and it does not matter if the band council belongs to the Dene Nation or to the Assembly of First Nations or to regional organizations or any such criteria. I would like to know if the Minister has any information on why this policy was implemented this way. Does the GNWT feel that a local's responsibility ceases to exist if it removes itself from the Metis Nation?
