Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are in follow-up to my Member's statement I made today. I have listed a number of policies which, since becoming involved with the government, I have been frustrated by, the number of situations which arise when policies are too broad and do not address the differences in the various regions and communities across the Northwest Territories. I named a few of them in my Member's statement but even the difference in climate, geography, proximity of communities to renewable and non-renewable resources, are all things that I believe we need to take into consideration. For example, in housing, the vast difference even between the east and the west with respect to people that are coming out of a wage economy as opposed to those coming out of a traditional economy. I would like to ask the Premier, Mr. Speaker, if these diversities are going to be acknowledged and incorporated into our programs and services when Cabinet undertakes a review of policies that the Premier has referred to this summer? Thank you.
