Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The part of the Executive that would be involved in that is primarily the office of devolution, where we have identified areas where we feel that areas of responsibility should be transferred to the North. That work has been done and there was much discussion about potential positions, either transferring from the federal government just to GNWT throughout the Northwest Territories and further discussion about what decision-makers or staffing is in other parts of Canada that may, as well, be moved here. That area of devolution discussions slowed down to a very slow pace in the first two years of this government and we have since reinitiated our discussions in the sense of re-engagement with the federal government, and we’ve had a technical session with the aboriginal groups and governments across the Territory
ourselves, I believe in January, and, in fact, will be looking at our next meeting being held early in the new year to undergo a second round of discussions. That would include, as well, the federal government.
So we initiated. What we need to do, though, is at the regional leaders’ table is to have a further discussion of just our positioning we would take as a northern group, and we’re hoping that we will be able to have that discussion in our next meeting of regional leaders or the Northern Leaders’ Forum at the end of March. Thank you.
