I think that though we can criticize the Finance Minister for having a $35 million deficit, the big picture and the reality of things is that we have the smallest accumulated debt, by far, in the country. We still have very reasonable tax levels here. We haven't been forced to slash social programs. We have been very fair with our unions and, in return, our unions have been quite reasonable with us. We all recognize, it's in everyone's interest, to come to some mutually acceptable resolution to pay. I, for one, am quite confident we'll reach that resolution without having a need for legislation. The need for legislation has never been discussed at all in the House. I haven't heard the Ministers put it forward. The union in the past has proven itself to be reasonable. I think they understand the financial pressures that are upon this government and upon this Legislative Assembly. I, for one, am quite confident that at the end of the day, we'll come out with a reasonable conclusion of negotiations with the union.

I say all in all, the people of the Northwest Territories are quite fortunate. They're in a comparatively very good situation to the rest of the country. The key to maintaining that situation is for people of the Northwest Territories to work together. Thank you very much.
