Mr. Speaker, a number of the initiatives we were looking at within the government of the 16th Assembly is how we do business as a

government, the level of services provided, if we can make it more efficient, more effective. Those are our goals.

So, yes, we are prepared to look at options out there. In fact, the Minister responsible for the refocusing government initiative is looking at boards and agencies and how they deliver services on our behalf as the government of the Northwest Territories. That is one of those initiatives out there that could have a direct role in how we deliver services in our communities.

Now, Mr. Speaker, the Member stated and compared our services to Third World countries. I would have to take exception to that. We are doing the best we can with our services. I think we are far above Third World country status when it comes to delivery of health care in the Northwest Territories. There are communities that need an increased level of service; we recognize that. That is why we have undertaken the initiatives. We have to try to look at how we spend those dollars and where those resources are being provided and look to improve on that level of service.
