Mr. Speaker, the previous Member, the Member for Mackenzie Delta, was talking about the issues of the small communities. Certainly, with a lot of aboriginal leaders who have to represent the small communities, that’s something these types of discussions can clear for us in this House along with the regional leaders: how we deal with the federal government on some of these programs and some of these dollars that have been allocated to the Northwest Territories through this government for the people in the small communities.

It kind of gets confusing, complex. I’m looking at it in terms of the policing in the small communities that do not have RCMP and keep coming back with lots of other challenges before them. That is something the Premier could discuss with our

aboriginal leaders in terms of the obligations that Canada should have towards the aboriginal people in funding services and programs. Can the Premier elaborate on that type of discussion, besides the other big ticket items?
