Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'd be remiss if I didn't raise a point in follow up to the Member for Hay River North in regard to the lands section which manages the Commissioner's land in accordance with the Commissioner's Lands Act and the Territorial Lands Act and prepares land disposition documents. It's an ongoing concern, I think, for any community that's reaching a stage of industrialization and Inuvik is not immune to that at the moment. Concerning this news release the other day that they had a little over $15 million in land sales in the last fiscal year. The question to me is would the Minister consider the transfer of statutory powers to the regional offices so they can expedite the quickness of the land disposition documents, rather than having to come to Yellowknife to circumvent some of the existing processes? Thank you.
