Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As part of our business planning development and consistent with the government's community empowerment priority, MACA identified land reform as a major strategy change and the initiative involved devolving the responsibility for Commissioner's land within municipal boundaries to municipalities and recovering costs for land development and administration. There was a document I tabled earlier in the year, Finding the Right Balance: Options for Changing Land Development Practices.
I know that the department has been to the communities, consulting with the communities on this initiative and I realize it is hard to comprehend this initiative within the smaller communities. It was one of the initiatives when in our lands claims for Nunavut, Article 14, states that all the land will now be under the municipal government in the communities and now the communities have that authority, to fix the pricing of those lots. We are working with the communities in regards to how to do land development in their communities and I realize that some communities, even though they have been consulted, probably need to be consulted again, but that is the initiative that is going on in land reform. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
