Mr. Speaker, as the Member pointed out, this is not a new issue. It is a natural phenomenon, as the Member has stated. Municipal governments around the world take care of issues that the Member is raising. So I do believe that it is within the power and responsibility of the municipal government.
I’d be happy to make a commitment to the Member that I will meet with the mayor of Yellowknife and see what they have in their plans and see if there is anything that he would like us to do and work with him. But I do believe that at the end of the day this is a responsibility of the City ofYellowknife and the duly elected councillors there. I trust the ability and capacity of the councillors and mayor to take care of issues in downtown Yellowknife.
