Thank you, Mr. McLeod. Final supplementary, Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I really appreciate the Minister's comments in terms of working with Colville and working with me in terms of this issue of caribou. In January or this coming year, I believe the Minister is going to host a caribou summit. It's going to be very important for our people in the Northwest Territories. Mr. Speaker, it is from our elders that we know about an inscription inside the caribou head or inside the caribou skull. I am waiting for the day when someone will translate this inscription to all of us. The people of Colville Lake have taken the initiative to conduct their own studies of the caribou. I also await their findings. I look forward to the caribou summit in the new year. Who will be invited to the caribou summit and what role is planned for the elders? Thank you.

A couple of questions there. Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Mr. McLeod.

Mr. Speaker, we have a fairly lengthy list of who will be invited to the caribou summit. We are planning to try to have all the stakeholders affected by the issue of caribou and people who deal with caribou, whether it's on a scientific basis, whether it's the hunters, whether it's community leaders, regional leaders. We would like to have all these people attend. We are also extending an invitation to the Members of this House and we are also planning to have elders come in and talk from a traditional knowledge standpoint on the issue of caribou. We would certainly welcome, if the Member has any recommendations from his region or his riding, as to who he thinks should be involved. We would certainly take those recommendations into consideration, if he would like to have the summit broad enough to involve all the people affected by the issue of caribou and the future of the caribou. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. Time for question period has expired. At this time, Members, I would like to draw your attention to the gallery to the presence of a couple of former Members; Lena Pedersen and Leon Lafferty are in the audience.

---Applause

At this time, the Chair is going to call a break and invite everybody to the Great Hall for the signing ceremony.

---SHORT RECESS

Back to the orders of the day. Written questions. The honourable Member for Sahtu, Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have three written questions.

My first question is for the Minister of Environment and Natural Resources.

Can the Minister provide a comparison between what customers in the Sahtu communities pay now, and what they would pay under a two-rate zone structure?

The second question is for Premier Handley.

Given the short amount of time left in this Legislative Assembly, would the Premier consider entering into some type of constitutional discretion with northern people? Alternatively, would the Premier consider initiating discussions with the MLAs at some time within the next 10 months?

My question is for the Minister of Health and Social Services.

What is the Department of Health doing to notify NWT residents who travel outside the North, in the case of having to use the health care centres/hospitals outside the North for medical services? How are we helping our residents who need the NWT government's assistance?
