Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Issues such as the request of Hay River are never easy to handle because there are many circumstances that usually enter into making decisions of this nature.

As I pointed out at the time, there were a number of issues. Two main ones being, financial and the other being that the government is currently undertaking a review of regional administrative structures to consider the effectiveness of boards and how they deliver services and so forth and in consideration of future self-government directions.

As well, there is the issue of the health boards being under review. So those all have to be taken into consideration when any decision is going to be made on this with regard to future action. Thank you.
