Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is great that the departments are working closely together and the deputy ministers are swapping. However, I would like to stress the fact that the programs designed by the government are delivered by front-line personnel and the conference in Hay River is for front-line personnel.

I will strongly suggest to the Minister that they should bring these new initiatives, or additional initiatives, to this conference, to be endorsed, or questioned, by these front-line individuals before any final decision is made. Will the Minister commit to that? Thank you.
