Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Minister has indicated here that he is using a moving target approach on our economy. He also indicated that the documents which I referred to are still being used, which is good. My point is that there does not seem to be a real overall strategy by the Department of Economic Development and Tourism in the north. The economy is very poor in smaller communities and it seems to me that the approach here indicated is first come, first serve and those who can fend for themselves are listened to. There are small communities which do not have those kinds of resources. Is there anything in the Minister's department which would help these communities that cannot come forward and fend for themselves? Could he explain to the House how he is approaching the situation? I would appreciate it. Mahsi.
