Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think the records show that previous governments and this government will continue, with the areas that it can, trying to deal with the capacity issues in communities in the Northwest Territories and deal with those challenges.

In fact, we began working with Members of the Assembly looking at one of the initiatives that we have yet to kick off, which is the regionalization of government operations, looking at how we deliver services and programs across the north. As well, there was a commitment made to work with Regular Members on the small communities group, and we’re waiting for that confirmation to come forward.

We do have constraints to operate within in the Northwest Territories. For example, under the Department of Health and Social Services, the territorial health and social services act directs how the department can work with authorities as well as with Education, Culture and Employment. There are things we have to work with within our system that further constrain what initiatives we can take part in.
