Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism. Mr. Speaker, concerns have been expressed in this House that the economic strategy tabled in 1990, being considered by the Minister, seems to be only one of the many guiding documents. This government seems to be taking a first come first serve approach to economic development. It does not appear to be following a cohesive strategy even though there is a solid one available. This makes the direction of the government, with respect to economic development, very unclear. Mr. Speaker, on March 5, 1993, the Minister indicated to this House that the government knows what directions they are taking; they are going ahead. Well, this sounds good, however, the Minister also mentioned that things change every week and with no commitment to a clear economic strategy, I question how the communities are to know where they fit in with the government's plan. My question to the Minister is, can the Minister explain to the House what steps communities in the Northwest Territories should take to determine how they fit in with the Minister's plans for economic development?
