Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Advisory Council has met twice. The very first meeting was a meeting where they had the ability to get to know each other and get to talk about issues that are of concern to this government. The second meeting that we have had, we brought in a facilitator to facilitate discussions and it seemed very clear to me that the discussions that these business people were having were similar to the discussions that are held in this House. They seemed to recognize the fact that the social issues and the birth rates in the Northwest Territories are some of the main things that are driving the deficit of this budget. We had scheduled another meeting for January but, due to the fact that I and others were unable to attend, I had cancelled that meeting. Hopefully we will reschedule it for March. Thank you.
