Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to thank the Member for raising this issue, and it has been raised to our government quite a bit during the previous week to two weeks from manufacturers in the North, as well as contractors in the North, as well as suppliers from the Northwest Territories. It is one issue that has to be discussed, and Cabinet will be discussing it very shortly. When we do block funding, when we do community empowerment, does that mean just turn the cheque over with no conditions attached, or does that mean there will be conditions attached to it? We will make that decision very shortly and when we do, I'm sure the Ministers responsible will be making a statement in this House. Thank you.
