Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, this is an area where we have been trying to apply some creative thinking. The Member is quite right. In the past, the GNWT has been very reluctant to enter into partnerships with some of these groups on the basis they were not public governments as defined by our current municipal legislation. In the phase two review of our municipal legislation, we are going to be talking to these mixed communities about how we can have all these groups working together through a structure that does reflect the entire community. In that exercise we may find our answers. We are certainly trying to take a very open and creative approach to this, so we really can have the whole community working together. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
