Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the Minister asked, if I had some ideas that I would communicate with his department. Mr. Chairman, I asked the Minister why in this day and age, the communication age, why do we need policy developers living in Yellowknife? Why do we need legislative drafters living in Yellowknife? Why do we need regional centers to represent communities when we have an overload of people here at the headquarters? Mr. Chairman, what I see in the smaller communities is income support policies forcing people to stop using income support and move them out of the communities into regional centers. The result, in fact is, Mr. Chairman, that because of the government funding relationship with the communities is based on per capita, our budgets are getting smaller. Because of the Constitution and the recognition of representation by population, with our population getting smaller, the population in the regional centres and the capital of this territory are getting higher, so more seats are going to be required in this House.

We have already seen the demonstration by the Cabinet that they are ignorant to the needs of the communities and the harmonization is one glaring example of that. So, I ask the Minister, as we live in the communication age, why can't we put three or four or five people in the communities to help the vast array of programs and services within the department so you could deliver them and people could take advantage of them, so they could assist people at the community level to take advantage of them. Those are my ideas, Mr. Chairman, and I would like to get a response from the Minister. Thank you.
