Thank you, Madam Chair. In regards to the motion, I believe that the Metis Nation in regards to the people they represent is in a similar category as the Status of Women, which was established in 1970 in relation to the Dene/Metis claims process, and also are presently in the process of implementing Dene/Metis health benefit package to each membership, in which this organization represents people up and down the Mackenzie Valley and still have recognized Metis locals who are registered under the NWT Societies Act, or incorporated. I believe they should be treated similarly to any other political organization that delivers programs and services on behalf of its membership. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. In the 1996-97 revised forecast, the Members will notice that the $60,000 to the Metis Nation, a community resource director funding was provided to the Metis Nation for community resource director, and that was to honour an agreement that we made as a government with the Metis Nation, a one time funding agreement. This was not an ongoing fund, or anything, it was just a one time thing. We had made a commitment to them, so we honoured it and we helped them with that one time only. It was not an ongoing issue. Thank you, Madam Chair. Sorry. And I just give that to Members for background, that it was never intended for ongoing funding every year of $60,000. And that is why it does not show in the 1997/98 main estimates, or the 1995/96 main estimates. It was a one time grant. Thank you.
