Masi, Mr. Chair. I would just like to say thank you to the Sahtu entrepreneurs, businesspeople, and also community members for starting up solar panels wood stove initiatives and other initiatives that they talked about yesterday. We have to start appreciating those thinking outside of the box and going out on their own initiatives. Those are pilot projects that we, as the GNWT, always look for and explore. I would like to thank the Member for her specific questions about partnership versus clientele.
Clientele, clients, is basically a banking term, my clients. I, for one, see community members as our family, a partnership. We have to get away from this "kwet'ii yatii." Kwet'ii yatii means these are terminology from outside, outside of our Legislative Assembly, outside of the Northwest Territories. We have to start using our own terminology. That is creating partnerships. We have talked about that so many times, how we can work together, recognizing their success and other communities' success. We should be appreciating that they have gone far enough that we should be stepping up to the plate with them. "How can we assist? How can we be your partner? You started something that will benefit the community, the region, the whole Northwest Territories." We should be open to those ideas.
Yesterday, I was kind of hearing, pleading, "Well, we have been waiting on the GNWT and federal government, but we are not getting anywhere, so we are going to go out on our own." Good on them. That is excellent initiative. We should be proactive. As a government, going forward, as a brand-new government, let's be proactive and meet with those individuals, meet with the successful business entrepreneurs in the community, small business owners. They have so many good ideas that can generate our discussions around the table here, Mr. Chair.
I just wanted to congratulate the Sahtu region, and other regions as well, for coming out with their own ideas, their own initiatives. Community solutions is an example of a northern solution. Masi, Mr. Chair.
