Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I said, the Prime Minister has spent many days outside of the country drumming up business for Canada. The Premier accompanied him on a very successful trip to China and the Far East. Premiers as we speak are crisscrossing the country trying to seek economic opportunities for their provinces.

I see tremendous opportunities for the Northwest Territories in this country. I would like to see high-profile visits from Ministers and business leaders from the Northwest Territories crisscrossing the country looking for opportunities; letting them know that the Northwest Territories is here and we have tremendous opportunities.

Many times, I don't think we are confident enough in our own abilities. We are afraid to go out and beat the drums for what we have to offer. My fear is if we don't take advantage of the opportunities out there, we will soon be a forgotten backwater in this country. So I ask the government, the Premier and the Minister of Economic Development to provide some leadership, some enthusiasm, some excitement and let's hear the name of the Northwest Territories from coast to coast.
