Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, along with the Member, I have met with the mayor from the community on several occasions, in fact, in Inuvik on Friday and Saturday, I had the occasion to talk to Mayor Bristow about the transition measures. The mayor, is satisfied that Ministers and departments are working well with the community to coordinate the transfer of administrative support from the Kitikmeot to the Inuvik region. Specifically, Mr. Speaker, the hamlet has met with Government of the Northwest Territories departments from both Kitikmeot and the Inuvik region, MACA, Justice, Education, Culture and Employment, the divisional education councils, the health
boards, and housing. Work is progressing well and to date. The mayor advises me there are no significant concerns. There will be a meeting this Friday in the community with Education, Culture and Employment from both the Kitikmeot and Inuvik regions. As well, Arctic College and health board officials will be meeting with hamlet officials in the community this Friday. Mr. Speaker, I am certain we are doing what we can to try and make sure that the people of Holman see this transfer as being entirely seamless. The goal of this government is to make sure that the residents of Holman see no difference in the way in which they receive their services. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
