Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I realize the government has to develop its plan and approach this in somewhat of a coordinated fashion, but I am concerned about what the federal government is doing to stimulate the economy here in the Northwest Territories. Frankly, they are not doing a thing. I think it is time we get onto this subject and tell the federal government to start doing something for us. We need those jobs up here, we need that in this community and we need it in Inuvik. You heard Mr. Roland earlier. Mr. Premier, we asked you to write to the Prime Minister to get an inventory of federal positions. We did not ask you to just sit and negotiate with our federal MP and the federal minister. I want an inventory of all the federal positions in the north. Will you commit to provide that?
