Thank you, Mr. Speaker and my colleagues. Mr. Speaker, the teachers and the government employees of the Kitikmeot region are willing to comply with the strategy, but they want fairness in the assessment. The assessment, by comparing Yellowknife to an isolated community, is not fair. Transportation costs, the availability of housing, the conditions of housing, and the climatic and geographic location of the smaller communities should be considered. As I have stated, Mr. Speaker, the chairman of the Kitikmeot board of education is opposed to the strategy as it is in the context which Mr. Minister has stated in his Minister's statement. During the appropriate time, I will be asking for action on some of the concerns which came from the Kitikmeot region government employees. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
