Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I understand that the discussions with the federal government are going well and the possibility of the Government of the Northwest Territories providing the services to continue for another year. However, there are no guarantees.

I would like to know if there is a transitional plan and, if so, as part of that transitional plan, are they looking at encouraging the federal government to devolve that responsibility to those aboriginal organizations that are capable and willing to take on that responsibility? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
