Thank you, Mr. Roland. Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Mr. Ramsay. Mr. Roland.

Agreed. Thank you. I’d like to thank Minister Roland and his officials, Mr. Rattray and Mr. Aumond, for their help in this department today. Thank you.

The next department we’ll move on to now is the Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs and I would like to ask Mr. Handley if he has opening remarks for this department.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. General comments. Ms. Lee.

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Mr. Hawkins.

Agreed. Information item, systems and communications, chargeback.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask the Premier if he has any plans or if this government has any plans to put something in place from a legislative point of view, that would create a monopoly for those communities which are presently being served by the NWT Power Corporation, to prevent such a scenario from happening. We know that in Fort Simpson it almost did happen, where an outside community came in and took that particular community out of the NTPC revenue base and mix. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Mr. Ramsay. Mr. Roland.

Thank you. Total department, $2.92 million.
