First of all, I would like to thank the Minister of Finance for clarifying where I get my right to voice my opinion in a yes or no. I would, however, like to add that while we say the transfer from the federal government to the Government of the Northwest Territories has, in some cases, not been adequate and that we would do exactly the same, we have done the same in the past. We have transferred responsibility to municipalities. In some cases, municipalities have not had the level of financing or increase in financing that has been necessary over the last eight or nine years. We have transferred drug and alcohol responsibility to some communities, and the level of financing has not been in place. No matter how well intentioned we all are -- and I believe we are all well intentioned in this exercise -- we must ensure that we are not passing along the problems. We must pass along the solutions. Thank you.
