I know that would at least support the new administration after hearing a number of frontline concerns there on how to better improve our system, mostly in particular the area of service, travel and coordinated travel. Can the Minister elaborate, are we going to get regional referral coordinators back into the regions like we once had?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On August 1, 2016, Bill 44, An Act to Amend the Hospital Insurance and Health and Social Services Administration Act, came into effect. On this date, the NWT Health and Social Services Authority, the NWT Health and Social Services Leadership Council, the Regional Wellness Councils, was established. This new governance structure allows us to make necessary changes across the system which will help improve care and services for the NWT residents. Realizing it's only been two and three quarter months since the initiation of this new legislation and operations act, later I...

Thank you, Mr. Blake. Minister Cochrane.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My question is on the existing system.

I would like to ask the Minister of Lands if he's willing to come to Norman Wells with his deputy minister to better understand the site, the scope of work, the area. In looking at the document submitted to the Sahtu Land and Water Board for a permit, it clearly shows that there's Commissioner's land within this...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today my statement is on the devolution and the transfer of responsibilities negotiated over many assemblies at a cost. Now that we are faced with the largest oil field industrial reclamation in the North, which also occupies the NWT Power Corporation's power plants and land tenure issues and for other various liabilities that could be viewed as a transfer to this government after the post-devolution of this piece of property is cleaned and transferred.

I will later have questions to the Minister of Lands. It could be also viewed in light of the fact that it's Small...

Thank you, Minister Cochrane. Mr. Beaulieu.
