Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In some communities, where we have had negotiated contracts, there may not be a need for it to continue but there is also the principle of community empowerment that we are looking at. That is another way of talking about negotiated contracts. The
question has to be asked, whether or not groups in the communities can benefit from the dollars spent at the community level to supply services to their own people. Whether that is through community empowerment or negotiated contracts, it is yet to be known. I would like to assure the Member that we do not see ourselves changing direction in the very near future. We will continue to make sure that communities benefit from the dollars that are being spent in them. Now that we have the whole issue of Article 24, we have made a commitment already to this Legislative Assembly to work on a policy. A negotiated contract policy is being worked on for all departments of the Government of the Northwest Territories. So, we will do that. Thank you.
