Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I would like to think that we are spending our money strategically, and Members used a couple of examples. We used some examples over on this side, as well, if we make an investment into work projects or projects that will generate some work. There's some strategy to that, and the Member and I both know that your rent collections go up; your income support goes down. That would be part of it and as well in the health and social services field, if you're spending money on prevention, then that should be classified as strategic spending. That should have an effect on the money that you spend on health and social services.

I like to believe that anything this government does with the money we have, we spend it strategically, and we look for what the long-term results may be down the road and what effect it might have on the people of the Northwest Territories, because we fully recognize that, and Members raised it a number of times on strategic spending. He's given some good examples, and we like to think we practice that, as well. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
