Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you to my colleague for asking the question in regard to the programs and services that we offer at our smaller communities on a local level. I do understand that there has been a challenge to program delivery at the community level. Looking at what we have done in the time being to fix that, in 2017, there was a survey that was conducted. That was conducted at a local level. We also had a summit that was held in Inuvik, as well.

With all of that information, it collaborated into changes within our policies, as well, too. We did make changes to work with our elders in the smaller communities, to enhance our programs and services that we are able to offer. Going forward, I look forward to working and reviewing this document and using it within the next four years. I also reflect on the past government. They had the initiative, and they went to all 32 communities in the Northwest Territories to collaborate that information, to work with those programs and services to develop a new strategy for the next government.
