Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there is definitely a community empowerment aspect to this transfer of funding, which does grant the communities or the corporations some latitude of discretion in terms of prioritizing what their initiatives should be, and I respect that and I understand that. This is money that would flow to the municipal government of Hay River. They would then be in a position to expend their energies where they think it would be most beneficial to the economy of Hay River. So again, I would ask at this time would the Minister entertain a proposal from Hay River for such a position? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
