Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to just say that I am really frustrated with the lack of action that we have been able to take in addressing the concerns from Hay River, as far as how the DEA fits into the DEC. The Minister has been aware of this ongoing issue for a long time now. I have brought it up on a continual basis and it really disturbs me, Mr. Chair, when I hear now that Members of the board are getting so frustrated that they are thinking about filling out their term and packing it in because they are beating their heads against the wall and there just doesn't seem to be any willingness to do anything.

I would like the Minister to comment again, what is the reason why we can't address the issue, apart from the money because we have seen so much money come on stream for anything else that the department has wanted to do. Money is no longer an issue with me. I think if there was a will to do it, the money could be found no problem at all. So I would like to ask the Minister again; why is it so hard to do something in Hay River? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
