Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I absolutely do. I recall when we passed the act in this House and we passed the formation of the NWT Development Corporation, this is one of the major vehicles that we do have to solve some of the social conditions that we do have in our country. It's a major vehicle that we have to create employment in our communities and give our young people some hope to be productive and have a wage economy in their community. It's an excellent vehicle that needs to be used at its fullest. It does create jobs, as the Member said previously today, where the private sector will not go because you have to have a subsidy in order to create those jobs. But it's a good investment by this government, it puts people to work and makes people productive, and it teaches people self-esteem, as well. So as far as I'm concerned, it does a good job and it will continually do so. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
