Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the Premier in the absence of the Minister of Economic Development and Finance. Mr. Speaker, co-ops in the north play a very important role in terms of economy and hiring native people.

Many years ago I worked for the co-op for five years and most of my family members work for the co-op. As a matter of fact, Mr. Speaker, the co-op is the biggest employer in my community and I think that goes for most small communities across the territories. Now my question is, Mr. Speaker, what has this government done in terms of enhancing the request made by the Arctic Co-op to develop credit unions in the territories? Thank you.
