Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Minister has indicated that yes, we are going to protect this government. We will protect the existing rights of the citizens of this territories. I would like to hear from the Minister, is he prepared to go into these communities and advise these people that, in order to receive funding from this government, they should consider amending their local community level government's policy to allow all citizens of this territory, if they conform to resident's clause, to vote at this community level? Now, I would like to ask the Minister. Can I expect him to go into these communities this summer, or whenever and advise the groups that the process that they are following is not democratic or can I expect him to come into my communities and say it is okay if we do not let Dene vote? It is okay if we do not let Metis vote. It is okay if we do not let others vote.

According to the Minister in the Hansard on pages 858 and 859, it is the reality of the day. I would like to hear this government's position on that. Thank you.
