Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Start off today sending greetings back home to my wife and children. Mr. Speaker, you heard in the statement yesterday from one of my fellow colleagues here about a concern of reductions in the community. Mr. Speaker, I remind other members here, that there has been another community in the Northwest Territories that has suffered many years through reductions. In the Mackenzie Delta/Inuvik area, we had the boom of the oil companies, and that dried up and left. We had the armed forces bases in Inuvik and they left. And now, Mr. Speaker, it feels like the Government of the Northwest Territories is trying to leave Inuvik. So I must say, remind others that there are other communities, and I would say and I believe, the people of Inuvik would agree that Inuvik to date has been one of the hardest hit communities in all of the Northwest Territories, and I would encourage members here that have potential development on their doorstep to secure the best they can for it, because we have experienced what was and what is not any more. So I just wanted to say to other members in this house that as we go through business plans, my commitment to Inuvik is to make sure we have a fair and equitable representation when it comes to the capital and O and M. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
