Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, there are 27 small communities in the Northwest Territories, including all the communities that I represent. People in these communities face different challenges than people living in regional centres or Yellowknife. Food and power costs more than it does in larger communities, and they don't get the same kind of programs and services that are available in the bigger communities. In my communities, people have to deal with frequent ferry disruption, face significant housing challenges, and an ongoing lack of jobs. I know the Premier comes from a small community himself. I'd like to know what his vision is for making sure that the people who live in my communities, and other small communities in the territory, have access to the same kind of opportunities and benefits that other people in the Northwest Territories do. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
