Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, in this most recent sessional statement, Premier McLeod talked about his vision for a healthy and prosperous Northwest Territories. He talked about people getting a good-paying jobs built on the foundation of responsible resource development. He also talked about residents breaking free of colonialism to achieve self-economic determination. These are powerful words, Mr. Chair, and a powerful vision. Before Christmas, we saw colonialism is still alive in the North when the federal government declared a unilateral moratorium on oil and gas development in the Beaufort Sea. Mr. Chair, I would like to ask the Premier to expand on his vision of the North, and explain what he is doing to ensure that Northerners have real authority to make their own decisions about their economic future. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
