Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We are committed to working with local elected officials in every community. For example in Inuvik, the town council, the Gwich'in, the Inuvialuit people and the community empowerment. I do not think it would be proper for us, as a government, to say if that does not work, we are going to do it another way. We are totally committed to working with the local

community groups to achieve community empowerment. Thank you.
