Thank you, Madam Speaker. I think I have said, on a number of occasions while I was on the other side of the House, and I have said as a Minister, that I view the territorial budget, for example, as an economic instrument, whether it is in the delivery of health services, the delivery of education services, et cetera. It has an economic impact on everything.

We are attempting to provide a coordinated approach in terms of how we expend our money, and I think it is there. Mr. Morin's initiatives, for example, with the business incentive policy or Economic Development and Tourism getting behind the small entrepreneurs in their requirement for bid-bonding or support services in developing small businesses, et cetera.

I believe there is an overall approach to economic development, but I think it goes beyond just the department. It is an acceptance that the role of the government is to ensure that maximum dollars that are spent by the government are in the hands of northerners, one way or the other. Each of us provides departmental support to make sure that happens.

On the larger issues, whether it is the fur strategy or whatever, we are intimately involved with Mr. Kakfwi's department in assisting him in the marketing strategies, et cetera, with respect to the collection of that fur. In education, we work closely with the Department of Education, Culture and Employment in trying to find ways and means in which to encourage the development of programs that will assist entrepreneurs.

So I believe that we do have a strategy that is in place, and the department has a very limited role as a department. But in the role of the Minister, I see my role as trying to coordinate economic activities within all the departmental responsibilities. Thank you.
