Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I, too, agree with my honourable colleagues that spoke to the motion. I think in the spirit of co-operation and partnership in working with other governments in the Northwest Territories, an audit of this nature is required. Right now, when there are environmental reviews done for project development, we see aboriginal governments doing reviews. You have territorial governments doing reviews. You have federal governments doing reviews. All are reviewing the same things. That is duplication upon duplication. It is costing this government and all governments involved a lot of money.
In the future, when we go through the inter-governmental forum and building partnerships with aboriginal governments, community governments, federal governments, we have to have a clear idea what our contribution should be to the role of resource development through the preservations of our environment, our wildlife, our waters, etc.
I think by doing a program audit within the Department of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development, that will give us some ideas as to where we can and cannot contribute to this process. We are not asking for two different departments. If that suggestion results from that audit, then we have to take a serious look at it. At this time, it is not costing this government anything. It is just an audit of the programs and service delivery of the Department of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development. I do not see a problem here. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
