Thank you, Mr. McLeod. Final, short supplementary, Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. One of the things that were brought up loud and clear at the public meeting that I attended was the overuse of the infrastructure at the Vee Lake landing. There is a pier there. There is a boat launch there. They are both extremely overused and they are both funded on a volunteer basis by the users of the lake. So I am glad to hear the Minister mention that maybe the department is willing to look at infrastructure. My question to him is whether or not the government is going to take some responsibility for the infrastructure at the Vee Lake landing, garbage, boat launch dock and there is a huge issue with parking. Will the Minister consider to provide some funding for that? Thank you.

I can assure the Member that I will work with my colleague over in ITI as far as the parks side of it goes and see if there is anything that we can do as a government to address some of the issues that were raised by the Member.

Again, as far as the discussion paper, I said on a number of occasions now that it is our intent to get feedback from all affected stakeholders and public on the discussion paper that is presented now and possibly have a product out by June 30th . Again, we

want to make sure that it is a product that is a very good product and one that is acceptable by most. It will be a perfect report. Whether it is acceptable by most people is another issue.

I can assure the Members of this House that this is an issue that we take quite seriously. It is one that is having territorial-wide effects as far as squatters

go. We are doing what we can to ensure that we help address this issue and deal with it not only in the Yellowknife area, we have it up in the Beaufort-Delta and we also may have it in a number of other places. But we can make sure we are in a position to deal with this issue. Thank you.
