Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On March 6, the Minister of Economic Development talked to the NWT Chamber of Commerce and for $20 you could have listened to Mr. Pollard give his vision of the economy of the Northwest Territories. Those who were at that meeting know more about where we are going, than the people in this Chamber -- that was for just $20, Mr. Speaker. We know the Minister to be a fiscal conservative, he is very careful with money and looks after it well for us. This $250 million that he told the chamber he would be quite happy to advance to the Cabinet for its consideration, what would that money be used for? There is a project right now in the Coronation Gulf which we are told is going to cost about $650 million. What did he have in mind when he said he would be prepared to convince his Cabinet colleagues that we should borrow the $250 million?
