Mr. Chairman, finally we have also suggested some fine tuning for the approach being taken by the GNWT toplan and prepare for implementation. As suggested earlier, we think that a more coordinated and systemic approach is required if the GNWT and community and regional bodies are to be ready for the changes, in some cases fundamental changes, which appear to be coming.

The numerous implications of programs and services and operations both require ongoing reorganization for the GNWT. Innovative approaches may be required and new management strategies will need to be developed, particularly in the environment where as many as eight governments will need to be consulted.
