Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Premier regarding a letter that was sent to the Premier on January 9th regarding the transfer of programs and services from the Beaufort-Delta Interim Regional Council. It relates to a motion that was passed December 6th.
The motion is Resolution 8, 2001 Transfer of Programs and Services:
WHEREAS the present Government of the Northwest Territories initially transfers programs and services to communities through community empowerment and the transfer of programs;
AND WHEREAS the Beaufort-Delta political accord has determined to work through program and service initiatives.
Just on that, Mr. Speaker, following up on the questions that I asked to the two previous Ministers regarding mental health and economic development officers, I would like to ask the Premier what action this government is taking in light of the motion passed at the Beaufort leaders meeting on the transfer of programs and services?
