Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Minister McLeod laid out some good suggestions, but if we really want to do the structural change that is going to give us, as a territory, the levers we need in the life of this Assembly, it’s tied to devolution. But we can’t have a long-term economic strategy that’s going to allow us to control our future
unless we have the authority and responsibility collectively over land, water and resource development so that we can set up the policies to make sure that our regulatory regime is responsive, effective, does the work that Northerners want us to do, allows decisions to be made in a timely way, will allow and encourage business to come back and at the same time doing all the local and community things that Mr. McLeod mentioned.
But in the life of this Assembly we need the levers. Unless we have the levers, we will always be having this discussion, decisions still being made in a far away land. Thank you.
