With the projected surplus, hopefully the GNWT has turned the corner and we will be able to, as an Assembly, focus on the needs of the people instead of the needs of our creditors. New employment strategies to new housing initiatives and some of the regulatory reform work that will become the focus as we lead into division are important steps in that direction. I think that the people of the NWT are tired of hearing the doom and gloom of deficit reductions.
