Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is in relation to the fairness and equity in regards to community empowerment in offering communities ways to deal with their problems step forth. My constituency has the lowest 10-year Government capital expenditures; it roughly works out to about $1200 per person in the Mackenzie Delta. In the other ridings, almost twice the capital expenditures that we received. It also is a loss in regards to loss of jobs, business opportunities, training, and potential benefits to my constituency. My question is to the Minister of Finance. What is he going to do in regards to looking at the possibility of dealing with this problem especially when you are talking about fairness and also community empowerment to put everybody on the same footing? Would the Honourable John Todd provide to the House an explanation as to the effects of capital spending as they affect regional economies?
