Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the honourable Minister of Finance. In his statement, the Minister of Finance talked about creative partnership, private sector business investment strategy, and also talked about community economic development, education and jobs. Mr. Speaker, within the jurisdiction of this government, the co-ops are the second highest employers in the jurisdiction. Every community across the Territories, especially in the Eastern Arctic, has co-ops. The Arctic Co-ops, for the past 10 years now, has been endeavouring to create more jobs and more investment in the area of creating a credit union. Will the honourable Minister seriously look at funding the request from the Arctic Co-ops, as my honourable colleague has mentioned, in the area of $400,000? We are talking about job creation, we are talking about education, we are talking about community development. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I do recognize the importance of the cooperative movement across the Territories and the significant contribution it makes to employment and services in our communities. I'm prepared to sit down with my honourable colleague, Mr. Kakfwi, and see if there is anything we can do with this important initiative that seems to have come to a grinding halt. Thank you.
