I also think the northern reality is very specific. It's definitely very appropriate that the committee complete its study and take into consideration the current struggles between our community organizations and their territorial government in that context.
Cases have gone before the courts and judgments have been rendered. You can't imagine how much effort our poor—and I mean "poor"—little organizations, with so few resources, have had to make for those judgments to be implemented—I'm talking about the Northwest Territories here.
I think it's very important for the federal government, through this committee, to be aware of these facts in order to find the best way to support these communities in a federal-provincial relationship.
