Certainly, again, I would agree with the Minister, Madam Chair, in terms of the smooth operation and transition from one government to the next government...(inaudible)...government-to-government transition and the negotiations are happening in that sense. Madam Chair, I say this because early in my life in terms of working with the Tulita Self-Government Secretariat that our community wanted to put forth a human resource strategy in terms of what will we need and things that we will require in terms of taking over some of our programs as we negotiated and look at some of the things on a basic level as to what things that we need to get prepared for. We didn't receive much support from either government. That's why I'm saying this to the Minister. I'm looking at this type of a strategy here, because we did get no support from the feds or the territorial government. So I'm wondering if the Deline self-government is running into that type of a situation. I know the government has to follow a process, they have to follow a lead based on the advice from the staff members, but if the community wishes to do things a little different, than what we are already offering as a government here. That's what I'm looking at, the respect that we need to sometimes look at the communities who are going to be taking over or setting up their own governments. Thank you, Madam Chair.
