Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this department has made arrangements with different organizations in the communities. Every organization is different from the other. If an economic development officer is going to be placed in the community through a band council, then we would require that the other bodies, like the Metis association as well as the municipal body, be supportive of that initiative so that if an economic development officer goes into a community through the band council, this individual has to provide the same level of programs and services as it is functioning under the Government of the Northwest Territories. Meaning that this person has to provide the services not only to the First Nations but to the Metis and to other people through the municipal government that is provided. If there is agreement with all parties, then we would make those kinds of arrangements. Thank you.
