Debates of , 16th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 19)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Can I get a breakdown on exactly the Community Justice committees and projects so that I can see exactly where the projects are and what communities are listed, and also so that I can understand which communities aren’t part of this process?

Deputy Minister Cooper.

Debates of , 16th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 19)

Mr. Chairman, this is my last question for the Minister. I’d like to ask the Minister: is there a possibility that I can get a copy of the evaluation of the program that was run at the Tl’oondih camp in Fort McPherson.

He has also been the chair of Gwich’in council since its inception in 1992.

It is those commitments that his dad has made to the Territories…where we are where we are today.
