Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question will be directed to the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism. Mr. Speaker, economic development is an essential requirement in communities across the territories. I know the honourable Minister is aware the communities in the Kitikmeot region are not in the best economic position as compared to other communities in other regions. This is not due to the lack of community initiatives. There are communities in my region which are innovative and want to get into the economic development program. This may have been due to a lack of support from the government from the system. I know the honourable Minister is endeavouring to change that. We appreciate his initiative. When is the government going to put an economic development position in Pelly Bay? I know the Minister attempted to do that last year. Thank you.
