Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Good afternoon. Mr. Speaker, the Member raises a good point. We are stuck with an impact upon us fiscally that has caught us in an election year, and there may be some people who say that we don't have a mandate and make any changes at the present time. But, certainly, the people of the Northwest Territories are going to be affected by the federal budget that was announced and by the impacts it is going to have on us in future years. I think it's incumbent upon us to have some kind of consultation process to say to people, similar to the way the Liberal government did with pre-budget consultations, what do you think? What are the services that are not important to you or what are the services that are most important to you? What do you think of these programs, et cetera.

So, yes, I will come back to the House with some means of having consultations with people in the Northwest Territories. But I will advise you, Mr. Speaker, and advise this House that I wouldn't be getting into $500,000 consultation fees. We just don't have that money to spend. I will attempt to find a way to allow people in the Northwest Territories to express their opinions to the government and, hence, to this House on the way they view any budget changes that may take place in the next few years. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
