Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I was saying, with a little help from our governments, a diamond cutting and polishing factory can be a reality in the north. Additionally, last year the Standing Committee of Government Operations recommended several investment initiatives. One of those initiatives was the Aurora Fund and that fund now loans millions of dollars to businesses, large loans up to half a million and over. There was also another investment scheme that we had recommended, something called NORTHTIIP and which I have been bugging the Finance Minister about which is an RRSP tax investment, incentive-based investment, for investments in smaller businesses. Hopefully, the Finance Minister will make an announcement soon. In the area of the federal government, we know that the federal government will be starting a National Child Benefit Program which will invest $500 million into the economy starting in July 1998, which will help poorest people getting over $300 a child per month. The money that the GNWT saves on income support will go to programs for children in poor families. We have also had a response to the Royal Commission which is something like $400 million for compensation and programs for those abused in residential schools and programs to assist aboriginal people in taking their rightful place in society. Hopefully, there will be more announcements coming. Mr. Speaker, as I said not all is doom and gloom, and I look forward to the budget speech tomorrow as the Finance Minister has assured us that there will be initiatives and good news. Thank you.
