Mr. Speaker, the major issue we have is, there will be no real economic development unless the resources are provided to develop and put in place an economic strategy. At this time, we do have a federal agency which funds money into the Northwest Territories, as well as the Government of the Northwest Territories. The CAEDS organization is set up to deliver to aboriginal people, not only in the Arctic, but also in southern Canada. Unfortunately, it is apparent that we do not have many positive decisions to support the northern economy in that program. There is a
component of federal government resources which is supposed to lead toward economic development, jointly with the Northwest Territories. I believe the only people who can carry out a Northwest Territories economic strategy and development are the stakeholders, to the people who are going to ask questions on how you implement it, are the people of the Northwest Territories. If the federal government wishes to help and place some extra resources in the Northwest Territories for that development, yes, indeed, we will accept that help. It is our job to develop that economic strategy and work with the people who are actually going to be immediately affected. Thank you.
