Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, yesterday at the end of the day I asked the Minister or his staff to read into Committee of the Whole for public record, the number of employees in the South Slave. If the Minister could continue that? Mr. Chairman, what I'm trying to demonstrate here is trying to paint a picture. We have policies of this government, like harmonization, which have a negative impact on the smaller, non-tax-based communities. We have policies within Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development and Education, Culture and Employment to try to encourage people to go to work. But if they don't have an option, what these policies do is treat people without integrity, respect and it's forcing people to stop using income support, it's forcing people to move to regional centres and territorial centres for employment opportunities. It's driving people away from our communities, their cultures, their land base. It's taking money away from their communities, because the way this government operates it's based on per capita. It will affect the representation in this House and the constitutionally-protected representation by population. If we don't create an economic base in the communities that's the result. These policies of this government are pushing people in that direction.

Now I want to demonstrate by the Minister or his staff reading into the record for the public how many employees of this government for this department work in our communities. Yesterday he mentioned a number of positions. In the communities I represent, so far he's mentioned 15 positions; 13 of those are seasonal. So if I could ask the Minister to continue with explaining where the positions are in the Northwest Territories. He started off with the South Slave, maybe he could move to the Deh Cho, Sahtu, Mackenzie-Delta, North Slave, et cetera. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
