Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I do not believe the government has a specific policy to deal with all areas. The government and departments are going to be flexible in trying to respect the wishes of the community, while still ensuring services can be delivered to the community. For instance, if the community were to choose that they wanted education services delivered by the Kitikmeot Division Education Council instead of by the Beaufort Delta Division Education Council, there would have to be negotiations between the two division education councils because this government will be funding the Beaufort Delta Division Education Council for those students in Holman. Unless the Beaufort Delta Council can achieve an understanding with the Kitikmeot Council, there would be no way for the transfer of funds to take place for those students to be educated by the Kitikmeot Council. What we are going to do is take a flexible approach, but money will play an important role in this. We will have to make sure we can, with the available funds, provide the services to the residents of Holman. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
