Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question today is to Mr. Kakfwi, the Minister responsible for Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development. The Minister presented a paper in the House today on the NWT Protected Area Strategy and update. I noted the Minister talked about job creation as the number one priority. I think that is the most important thing we have on our agenda for the next two years. I believe business can help create those jobs. I did not see any reference in the documents to the mining sector, which I suggest has a great potential to create the jobs the Minister has talked about. I would ask the Minister my first question. What consultations have taken place with the mining industry with regard to this protected area strategy? I see everyone else referred to, but do not note if anyone has had any consultations with the mining sector. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
