Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Madam Fraser and everyone else, for coming here today.
I am very interested in your report. And certainly for people in the Northwest Territories it was very significant at this time, because of course we're going through a process now in which the federal government is looking at regulatory changes.
One of the regulatory changes that has been proposed, and which seems to have some weight within the government, is to actually condense many of the boards into a single board. Now, within your paper you seem to indicate that the regional boards are working effectively. I think for most people in the Northwest Territories, when you propose opening up land claims to make these boards into one board, there are some real stop signs that go up for people.
Is it your impression that the system we have in place now with the regional boards is effective in dealing with the situation?
