Thank you, Mr. Chair. We provided, though confidential letter, our response to his very question on the letter dated February 11^th to the Member. Essentially, we said if we had additional resources, we would look at it. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Mr. O'Reilly.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I am trying to understand what the problem is here. If there are additional resources required, why not prepare a plan so that we know what those are and whether it is over three, five years, whatever, that is fine, and how that function is going to be carried out in the regional centres, the capital, to have the Single Window Service Centres. I don't understand what the problem is in preparing a plan. Can the Premier try again? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Premier.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I think the problem is a difference in opinion. When we first started with Single Window Service Centres, it was for small, isolated communities, not for the capital city and not for regional centres. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. O'Reilly.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I guess we actually do have a difference of opinion here. I don't understand why we wouldn't want to ensure that our residents in regional centres, including Yellowknife, would have access to Single Window Service Centres. It is a good move that there are 15 communities now where the federal government and territorial government services are offered through a one-window approach. Why wouldn't we want to do that sort of thing in regional centres, as well, or even Yellowknife?

Service Canada has an office here in Yellowknife. Is there not a way that we can try to work with those folks so that they could also offer information and access to GNWT programs? I don't think it necessarily even means hiring more staff. Without a plan, it is just not going to happen. Can the Minister commit to preparing a plan to roll out this function in all of our communities? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Premier.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Our plan is: we have been converting all of our services to online services as much as we can. We are continuing to move in that direction. We are also moving towards Single Window Service Centres. We have shared services arrangements. If the Member feels that we would be better served by having individual service officers in Yellowknife, we certainly can look at that, as well. Thank you.

Mr. O'Reilly.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I am actually suggesting that. I think that is what a number of Regular MLAs have been suggesting for the last three years, the development of such a plan. It is fine to have more services available online, but not everybody has access to the Internet. Not everybody knows how to use the Internet. We have a growing population of seniors who, I think, would find that function particularly helpful. Can the Minister commit to preparing such a plan? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Premier.

At this late stage, if it is on the mandate list for the next government, they could look at it, for sure. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Mr. O'Reilly.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I think we will just have to wait until we get a different Minister to complete this task. Can someone tell me whether there are any plans to review the Status of Women Council Act? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Premier.

Certainly not by EIA. All we do is provide administrative services to the Minister responsible for Women. I don't think there is a plan to review the Status of Women Act at this time. Perhaps through you, Mr. Chair, we can pass it over to the Minister responsible for the Status of Women.

Thank you. Minister Cochrane.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The act for the status of women actually was a priority. It was one that I had actually identified when I first began my position as Minister of Status of Women. However, at that time, working with the NWT Status of Women Council, they felt that it was appropriate that it didn't need any changes. Since that time, there has been a total change in administration and chairs. They have looked at it again, and they are in agreement with me that it needs to be changed, but, because it is so late in the day, we have agreed to put it onto the 19^th Legislative Assembly. It does definitely need to be changed. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister Cochrane. Mr. O'Reilly.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I am glad to hear the Minister say that. It is quite an antiquated piece of legislation. I would hope that it makes into transition reports from your side of the House and our side. That is something that needs to be done. That's all I've got, Mr. Chair. Thank you.

Thank you. Next, we have Mr. Thompson.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Going back to Single Window Service Centres, I know that, in the riding, it sort of, kind of, has one. We haven't figured out if they are going to take it or not. What is happening with the community of Wrigley? When are they on the schedule to get a GSO? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Mr. Aumond.
