Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the next legislature will, I am sure, entertain ideas like this. We have the transitional planning process that is being prepared now for the next legislature. Some suggestions on what we need to do to recognize if the political aspect of the Northwest Territories is changing. The Government of the Northwest Territories, as it was and the way it still appears to be, is possibly no longer viable in the sense that we are having emerging regional entities that also want to deliver programs and services and the next legislature may find the political will to embrace these regional governments that are aboriginal public institutions that are being created or in the making. If such is the case, then part of the planning documents entertain the suggestion that we may want to take some of the resources presently allocated at the Yellowknife headquarters level and reprofile or reallocate those to support these regional institutions and governments, so they can deliver programs and services. There is some planning going on to meet that if the next legislature should want to jump on that with both feet, eyes wide open. Thank you.
