Mr. Speaker, as Members have raised this issue in a number of our meetings, as well as Aboriginal leaders have, my response has been consistent, that as we draw down these jurisdictions and we negotiate the human resource transfer, there are a number of jobs that are already existing in the North, but there are approximately 175 new positions coming to the North. As we begin that work in setting our mandates, we’ll begin to be able to set that model of how we’d like to see it structured.

I would say that we have that opportunity to set that mandate and look at a decentralized model and, in fact, try to move that along as best we could. I would say we do have that opportunity to address that. We’ve heard it. It’s been raised even at the Cabinet table as we look forward. As we begin to design our mandates, we will take that and look to seeing how we could set it up where we could impact positively communities across the Northwest Territories, not just the regional centres and the capital. Thank you.
