HON. JANE GROENEWEGEN Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, of course I would acknowledge it. As a government, we do have a responsibility to help people in any way we can. However, we also have an obligation to work with other partners who work on the frontline in addressing these issues. We have an obligation to consult with communities.

One of the complaints we often receive as a government is that we sit here in Yellowknife and try to dictate to communities how they should deal with their issues. So I do believe that the partnership approach is a good approach and I think we have had excellent input from some of the non-government organizations and some of the volunteers who work every day first hand with people and see what some of the answers to these very challenging problems are. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
