Thank you, Madam Chairperson. One of the top priorities of the government is community empowerment, and through community empowerment will this Minister commit to or look at negotiating block funding arrangements through community empowerment for Fort Resolution community groups? They have a community group there, the Deninoo Community Council, the band council, the Metis Local and through community empowerment take over the highway maintenance from Hay River to Fort Resolution because it is a function. It is a service provided by the government. It is a program provided by the government and we would prefer to do it through community empowerment and then we do not have to deal with negotiated contracts, no different than a municipality would do their own contract work, same thing.
