Mr. Speaker, we will be meeting fairly shortly as Cabinet and we will be discussing our strategy as well. It will be a very public presentation that we will be making not only to the Prime Minister and the other elected officials in Ottawa, but also to all people in the Northwest Territories as well as Canadian citizens in general. They have to fully understand that these are exciting times in the Northwest Territories. April 1, 1999, we will be creating two new governments. We will be developing two new formulas for two new governments so we have to make sure they fully understand that. We also have great potential, up and down the Mackenzie Valley as well throughout the Great Slave geological area to create jobs for Canadians, and these are jobs Canadians have said they desperately need. Northerners need them as well. You have seen the unemployment statistics. You have seen the environmental scan of where we sit as the Northwest Territories, not only economically, but socially as well. Everybody has already seen what is happening in the Northwest Territories and fully understands, we just have to go out and communicate it now. And we have to communicate it aggressively as well. Thank you.
