Thank you, Madam Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of MACA. The Minister has stated his opinion unequivocally that prior to reviewing all of the possibilities in the departmental budget, he will not put forward support to reinstate the rebate to its previous levels. Because the Minister opened up this line of questioning, I have a question for the Minister. We are talking about $350,000. Could the Minister please tell me how he is convinced, without reviewing his budget, that there is no place in a $100 million budget with 155 PYs that he can find something less important than a program that puts money into every community in the Northwest Territories?
