Terry Kruger Communications and Policy Coordinator, Northwest Territories Association of Communities

Good morning, and thank you. Welcome to Yellowknife. As you noted, our vice-president, Merven Gruben, is unable to attend, and I extend his apologies.

We appreciate the opportunity to appear before the committee today to share some of our views about building the Northwest Territories.

For some background, the NWTAC was formed in 1967, and today we represent 27 communities that are home to approximately 97% of NWT residents.
