Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you to the presenters here today.
I see a lot of people in the audience from the Northwest Territories, so I'll choose my words very carefully.
My first question is to Mr. McCrank.
I was serving in the government of the Northwest Territories at the time you put out this report. It's my understanding you were appointed by Chuck Strahl, the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development in 2007. I wanted to ask you if he gave you any marching orders. Did he mention or suggest that maybe you should look at rolling back some of the regional boards into a super-board? I'm just wondering where the concept of the super-board came from.
