Madam Chair, I just have a concern, because I had a member of the Native Women's Association come to me at the airport when I was catching a plane one time, and she had asked to go to an NWT Disabilities meeting and was told that it was only for Yellowknife residents. When you have "NWT" in front of it, to me, that's supposed to be for all of the NWT, and they should be serving all of the NWT. That's what she was told. This was a person from the small community of Fort Resolution. We have to make sure that everybody has equal access. Disparity is not good. It has happened for too long. I just want to make sure that in future budgets we look at all these different disparities so that the small communities and regions are treated equally. That's all I'm asking. Thank you, Madam Chair.
