The Final Self-Government Agreement says that people in Deline will continue to have programs and services that are similar to those in other communities in the NWT. To help make sure this happens, the Deline Got’ine Government (DGG) will have to set up and enforce its own standards. This will make sure that the programs and services are delivered safely and effectively.

The standards for many programs, like those for child protection, must line up with standards across the NWT. For other programs and services, the DGG will be able to set standards that are better suited to the language, culture and traditions of Deline.
