Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Mr. Speaker, I appreciate that there is funding that goes to Yellowknife's Dene, and they of course in close proximity, but they still have their own community and it's constituated its community. It's the City of Yellowknife that doesn't receive this funding, and the City of Yellowknife that increasingly has the needs of Northerners pressed upon it. People come here for the services and there's always a constant and rising demand for services. So is there any way that the Minister can communicate that message to Ottawa for a direct partnership from the City of Yellowknife to Ottawa? A special agreement as we see a lot of this funding doesn't flow to the Northwest Territories because we do not have reserves. That's a constant issue. Is there any way we can start having that conversation then that we have specific Northern needs? Thank you.
