Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Premier. It is regarding the upcoming events this summer in Inuvik, the assemblies and other meetings that are going to be held in the Inuvik region. The Gwich'in Assembly will be held July 28th to the 31st in Inuvik. With regard to the concerns and issues that are raised at these assemblies, I believe it is critical and important that the government is present when these concerns are being raised. I would like to thank Mr. Antoine for making his appearance at the assembly last year, but it will be nice if other Ministers could be present at the assembly this year. I would like the Premier to have people available to field questions on topics such as cuts to programs and services, self-government talks, community empowerment, questions about the Northern Accord, a concern on negotiated contracts. Mr. Speaker, I would like to request the Premier to ensure there are representatives there from this government, especially from the Department of Social Services, at this annual assembly.
