Mr. Chairman, this is placed in the Executive because it is the devolvement of broad social policy through a number of GNWT departments, including those in the social envelope -- the territorial Association of Municipalities, non-government organizations, the federal government, aboriginal governments. It is a broad spectrum of stakeholders. The role of the Executive is to provide that sort of broad policy direction. I think at this time, because it is much broader than just a government department, it is appropriately placed in the Executive. I agree with the Member that because it is with the Executive it did not go through the regular review by AOC.

In terms of it being placed in the Executive, I think that is where it is appropriately placed at this time because of the broad spectrum of stakeholders involved. Thank you.
