Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think what's necessitating the burning desire right now is that the projected budget for 2004-05 for the Village of Fort Simpson is being reduced by $400,000, and that's a very, very huge hit for any community or any municipality to take, especially when in December they thought they had a secure arrangement for funding at $1.2 million. So that's what is necessitating this. I'm just trying to get the Minister to assure the Village of Fort Simpson that he will meet with them in the near future to resolve this. They would like to meet the Minister either in Yellowknife or perhaps the Minister can come over to the Village of Fort Simpson. Thank you.
