Thank you, and I appreciate the question. My speech earlier today focused on changes that could be made by the Premier, not so much broad changes, but the specific items like this, and I think this is exactly the type of thing that needs to be done. A lot of the times with politicians, we are not experts on everything, so we make decisions based on our gut. I don't think that is a good way to make decisions, especially when you are talking about billion-dollar projects.
I know the Government of Northwest Territories, just looking through the literature, has basically already said, "We are doing Taltson, and here are the steps we are taking to get there," but they haven't found a market. We haven't seen any cost projections or any revenue projections. We don't know what they are going to do, and no one does, in terms of revenue they could receive from any potential future mines. We need to think more about this type of information before we start signing cheques; not that we wouldn't sign the cheque, but we need the information.
We also need to look deeper into investment funding, I guess, is a way to put it: funding that might not pay off in the term of this Assembly. It might not pay off for 20 or 30 years, but it needs to be done. Things like early childhood intervention, early childhood education, those types of things that I wish the governments had done 30 years ago. You know, we need to start doing those types of projections well, so I am happy the Member brought this up.
As I stated earlier, as well, these sort of evolutionary improvements to how we do business won't stop after people are sworn into office. They should continually be brought forward and, if they need to be implemented, then we implement them. Thank you.
