Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs, Honourable Manitok Thompson. In relation to the statement she made in the House the other day, regarding the community empowerment initiatives going on between your department and the communities, in regards to Mackenzie Delta. The Aklavik Aboriginal Committee is presently in the process of looking at community transfers and also, through the assistance of secondment, of a government staff member. My question to the Minister is what priority do these negotiations have in regards to the ongoing time frames we are looking at in trying to fast track some of these transfers, especially ensuring there are adequate resources and personnel to assist the community and individual to ensure this process is carried out at a very fast pace to try to come to an end and get these negotiations completed in a short time frame, rather than dragging it on for a number of years. What kind of assurances do we have that it will be a speedy process and there are resources and individuals available to ensure that?
