Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I do not think it is the responsibility of this government to tell people to stop having children, but I do think it is the responsibility to let people know that they will be responsible for the children they do have and that we should work along with the Minister of Health and Social Services and other departments of this government, to let people know what that means when they

bring a child into this world. You will be responsible for that child.

But we also have to make sure that people understand the situation the people in the north are in today. Members have had the opportunity of seeing an environmental scan of the future of the north and what it will be like a few years down the road. We plan, as a government, to aggressively go out and make people aware of the situation and where we are going in the north if nothing is done to either birth rates or funding or just forced growth of government, of what could happen. So we are going to be taking an aggressive role in educating people and making people aware of where the Northwest Territories is going. Thank you.
