Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it's no secret that my preference would be that benefits accrue to the government from points earned by government employees, MLAs and people working for the government and spending government money for those tickets. The points should be used for either negotiating a discount with airlines and saying we won't accept points, or using those points for travel for the GNWT as it moves people around. I haven't met with a great deal of success, Mr. Speaker, in convincing even Members of this House that that is the way it should be. But it has been considered and looked at. I know for a fact that the offices of the Auditor General of Canada use the points for department travel, and I'm certainly interested in having those points accrue to the people of the Northwest Territories through the government. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
