Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wish to table the following letter to the Commissioner, the Honourable Helen Maksagak from the Minister of Indian Affairs, the Honourable Jane Stewart. Over the past 30 years we have seen the role of the Commissioner evolve from that of a hands-on decision maker to that of a symbolic head government. Today the Commissioner no longer runs a term for government, but has duties like a lieutenant governor in one of the provinces. The Minister's letter confirms this evolution.
