Thank you, Madam Chair. We should explore the idea, through the health boards, of the one-stop shopping for mental health, as well, brought up by Mr. Erasmus. That could be a money-saving exercise. Any advice we can get on how to save dollars is greatly appreciated.

I fully understand and will pay the most attention to our young people. Many people have brought it up that we not only have to be more aggressive with the mining companies, but by doing that, what we also mean is that we have to have a properly trained workforce for them to employ. Mr. Henry, you brought that issue up and that's a good issue because what we have to do is train our young people in partnership with the mining companies so that they end up with good employees in the end who are capable of doing the job.

I'm very supportive and a very strong advocate of northern control over northern resources. We have talked to the aboriginal groups and, as I mentioned earlier, we are going to proceed on that issue. We're going to proceed on it in partnership with our aboriginal partners to try our best to come to agreement so that when we go to deal with the federal government, we go with a united front. We'll go there to bring the control of northern resources home to the North where it belongs.

I've already addressed the time frame to deal with the $150 million deficit. Mr. O'Brien also brought up the issue of will Members be involved on this committee for rejuvenating the economy. As I previously mentioned, I will seek your advice; you know people who I don't know and other Members don't know but what we're looking for are very strong committed independent businessmen in the North who would like to volunteer their services to help this government through some hard times.

I've addressed the issue of fair cuts to Yellowknife. Like I said earlier, we have the fundamental belief that we have to balance the budget but we do not do it on the backs of only Yellowknife. We talked to our communities already and we've told our communities that you can expect to feel a portion of the reductions in this government. Let me say again that all sectors of the government will be touched by reductions of some sort once we work through that. So, with that, it will be done fairly and compassionately.

As far as the downsizing of the Housing Corporation, what we mean when we mention downsizing is so it becomes more in the community development mode; that's exactly what we mean. I am not talking about getting rid of the Housing Corporation totally. Because you have CMHC funding, you have to have a corporation, you have to have something to funnel that money through, but you also have to have less government, so we have to look at the role they play, the function they produce and whether or not it should continue the way it is. The communities are saying very clearly that they have the ability to run their own affairs and we have to work with them to develop their abilities so that they can make their own decisions at the community level, and I see the Housing Corporation playing a key part in that for the simple reason that they have presence in every community, houses in every community and housing is one of the highest priorities of this government because we have a great housing shortage in the North. So I can see that by block funding or doing community empowerment with the Housing Corporation, that would help the communities greatly in solving their own problems.

We also have to look very seriously at the whole issue of renewable resources and how the development of the renewable resource economy can help our people and how it can put jobs in the communities. So I completely agree with Mr. Ningark when he says that we have to look at it seriously and try to help the communities develop.

So that basically covers off pretty well all the points that I believe Members have raised. I will also read Hansard tomorrow to find out if I missed anything. I always appreciate Members' advice, and we have to work on this together. We have a great opportunity to change the way we do business. We have a great opportunity to make a government that is more in tune with what the people of the Northwest Territories would like to do, and that is control their own futures at the community level. With that, Madam Chair, I would like to thank you. Mahsi cho.
