Mr. Speaker, thank you. My questions this morning are for the Premier and it relates to the negotiations underway with Ottawa for the devolution of resource management from Ottawa to the NWT. Mr.
Speaker, there are, of course, many jobs involved; we understand about 170. These people need to be dealt with, of course, professionally and ethically and, naturally, in accordance to the collective agreements that are in place. But the bottom line is we need to see those positions transferred.
Mr. Speaker, I wanted to ask, are the jobs now under discussion strictly connected with the resource management and resource devolution file, or are we also looking at the broader scope of the whole northern programs side of Indian and Northern Affairs, Mr. Speaker?
