Thank you, Madam Chair. And I think I'll take a little bit of a cause for some of my other colleagues that maybe don't have an opportunity today to speak.
I'm just looking at the directorate and the fact that all of the positions are headquartered -- are listed -- sorry, located in headquarters in Yellowknife with the no increase that my colleague spoke to. While I understand why a directorate would need to be in one location, we have talked many times about the move to virtual work. And I guess one conversation we have a lot on this side of the House is the small-communities-versus-Yellowknife-versus-regional-centres conversation, which we even had this morning, so I would -- I guess I'm curious to know within this directorate, like, how does that break out? Do we have staff where they are solely focused on a small community, or is the directorate more structured in a manner where they're all sort of doing work that's for the entire area?
And I guess where I'm going with this and why I'm asking is that it seems to me this might be a place where we could sort of really start to tackle that divide between the three -- like, I'm often struck that we're talking to Yellowknife at the same time that we're talking to Aklavik. And when I used to go sit, even as an engineer on national groups, I would sit and laugh to myself as Ontario and Quebec talks about their problems and I'm sitting here with, you know, ten member firms instead of, like, 40,000, right. So it's quite -- and I'm sure all the Cabinet understands this from their FBT tables, right. So I'm wondering if there's some way within this directorate that we could start to address that issue considering that MACA is the community department. Thank you.
