Mr. Speaker, on the contrary. When people are here from different provinces, they are treated at the hospital if they are injured or ill, people have to pay into workers' compensation, therefore if they are injured in the Northwest Territories on the job and are covered by workers' compensation in the NWT, there is another cost to us. Mr. Speaker, there are all kinds of unseen items that people receive. Just maintaining the airport that the plane lands on belongs to the Department of Transportation. There is maintenance of airport buildings when they go into an airport building. There are a number of services, and I do not know all of them, Mr. Speaker, but when you are up here and you are participating in the economy and working in a mine, there is a cost to us of inspecting that particular mine. When you are here, you cannot help but somehow get some benefit from living and working in the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
