Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Environment and Natural Resources. It’s in regard to the human resource officers in the Mackenzie Delta region — more importantly, the ones in my riding. I know I’ve raised in Committee of the Whole that these people are basically not given opportunities by way of training. The equipment they’re working with is hand-me-down. In some cases it’s practically junk. I have received pictures in this particular matter of the equipment these people are having to operate. I’m told that most of the radios and whatnot that are in those offices in our communities are now being moved to the Inuvik office. For me, the whole idea of building capacity in communities is to make sure we have the infrastructure and the people and provide them with equipment to do their jobs. So I would like to ask the Minister: why is it that there is now a trend in place where we’re moving equipment out of communities to the regional office in Inuvik?
