Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If I can have a little preamble, Mr. Speaker, on today's budget. I think the Finance Minister has been very creative in providing something for all peoples in the territories and all segments in the economy. I also believe he has balanced out and been up front on some of the negative things, and I will speak to more about this later. There are a couple that I would like to question the Minister on presently. He had noted in his remarks earlier on regarding concerns he had as to pay equity and I certainly share his concerns. We have asked the public in the territories to tighten their belt for the last two years. How much of an impact does the Minister think that this pay equity issue will have on the future abilities of the government to work? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
