Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my next set of questions are for the Minister of Lands. My colleague, the honourable Member for Deh Cho, started a line of questioning earlier today with regard to community lands, and I would like to continue along those lines.

Mr. Speaker, I just want to get to the point. If cities and towns are doing long-term planning, they already have these community plans in place. In the case of the City of Yellowknife, it is a ten-year plan; they revive it every five years. In order to do long-term planning, the city has, a number of times, requested to get its hands on all of the land within the municipal boundary.

I am wondering why the government still insists that we would have to piecemeal plots of land to the city on a request-by-request basis rather than just give them the lands within the municipal boundary as a whole, as one greater land application. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
