Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will just briefly respond to the three areas. First, I would just like to point out that while the Member makes repeated references to myself doing this and providing all the answers, I am just one part of the process. I am the lead Minister for Cabinet, but this Legislature, the Social Programs committee, the other levels of government, the other departments in the territorial government, are all going to be playing a role in coming up with a response that at the end of the day we can hopefully support as a Legislature. I am going to be doing the work to put things on the table and to pull things together, but at the end of the day, it is going to be a collective issue. As the recommendations themselves indicate, this is not just one person's responsibility.

Mr. Chairman, the issue of money is of course going to be a critical one. We hear in this House every day the demands that things be a priority, be it special needs, be it health issues, be it issues with Alzheimer's patients, parity for mental health workers, and that is just part of the issue of demand in communities. Every community has a list of issues they are struggling with that require funding. The Members of this House are very clearly aware of the fiscal limitations we operate under. Where we are going to get the money and how much money is required to move ahead will be a question we will have to deal with as a Cabinet and as a Legislature. We will have to factor that in with a host of other requirements and other priorities.

The focus tends to be a lot on health and social services within the government, which is understandable, given that we consume almost 25 percent of the budget. As I indicated, this is a broad issue, tying in Housing, Education, Justice, Municipal and Community Affairs, Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development, all the program departments. It is going to take work to pull that together.

In the area of consulting the First Nations, it was thought this would be an opportunity to briefly touch base with the federal government, the territorial government, and the Aboriginal Summit, who gathered to deal with their specific mandate. This is a very important agenda item. It was thought that it would be an opportunity to quickly brief them and get a sense from them as a collective what their thoughts were in terms of how we intend to proceed and what they may see as their respective roles in trying to come up with a response to the broader recommendations that are not just germane to the NWT government. Thank you.
