Thank you, Madam Chair. Evidence-based process is about best practices, and it is about proper planning. I talked in my speech about doing a 10-year economic development plan or strategy and then a four-year action plan based on that. Within that process, you would be looking at all of the expenditures, all of the potential revenues; and then, from that process, looking at risk management is critical within that. What are the risks? What could happen if the worst happened? And then, from that actual process, we would be able to make an informed decision. However, at the same time, I have also made a commitment to work with regional Indigenous governments to actually look at our economic development plans for regionally.

The reality is that, even when we get to that work done, it doesn't mean that everything is going to start at the same time. It is a matter of defining what would be best for the regions, for the Indigenous governments, for the people, and then negotiating amongst all of us, so it is priority setting about which one comes first, which ones can wait, which ones are critical. I don't think that is a process that should be done exclusive. I think it should be inclusive.

Again, if I am selected as Premier, then we will have a solid evidence-based strategic economic plan and action plan for the GNWT, and we would be building regional economic development plans with every Indigenous government. Thank you, Madam Chair.
