The thing is, what I am having difficulty with is that when we look at some of these recommendations that are coming forward, I still have not got a clear understanding of what the priorities of this government are. Are our three priorities to ensure that people have food, shelter and employment? If these are the basic principles, then the changes have to reflect these principles. I had some real difficulty when I looked at the capital budget, for example, and

some of the things that came forward, because I think they are all inter-related. You cannot look at one without looking at the other. I could not quite get a feel for where the priorities of this government were. Is it more important to put parks into communities or to build houses for people who need shelter? Is it more important to look after people's health or to build legislative assembly buildings? So I personally have a real struggle here trying to determine what the priorities are of this government. To me, the priorities should be making sure people have got shelter and food in their mouths and making the best effort to find people employment, and I have to view this document in that light; so I am a little confused as to how I would approach some of these recommendations and how I would support some of these recommendations if they do not relate to the principles of what I see as priorities. Do you understand what I am trying to say, or am I jumping all over the place?

You know, if I may, we talk about Arctic College. Education is an important subject to many. We talk about Arctic College and some of the changes we want to make there, yet we still have not solved the problem of getting kids out of school with a decent education. To me, the priority is education, so I view this document with respect to, how can it best serve the interests of the kids in school? It may be a little philosophical, but that is the dilemma I am in right now. I have to view the document as I view the basic needs of Northerners. I am not sure, in a number of situations, that they necessarily reflect the basic needs of some of the Northerners, and that is why I was asking the question. I want to be able to stand up in areas which I have got some serious concerns with and be able to voice my opinion and opposition to that particular part of the report and also, at the same time, my support for the parts of the report that I can support. Thank you.
