Mr. Speaker, would the Minister then table the standard lease document if the terms to renew on the standard lease document are similar to the ones of the original lease?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, what I am trying to get at here is rather than table the actual lease which might be confidential, could the Minister table a standard lease document if, in fact, the standard lease document terms of renewal of the lease are similar to the ones

that were on the original lease of Lahm Ridge Tower Building?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in the Finance Minister's Budget Address, he talked about the child tax credit. Mr. Speaker, we hear in this House about child poverty, about lack of housing and about the lack of food. I could not agree more than I did with the reply to the Budget Address that Mr. Steen put forward with respect to how we are going to ensure this child tax benefit actually gets to the children that we are trying to help. It is going to go to the parents, we know that. My question is to the Minister of Finance. If this is a federal program, is it too late to use these resources in some other fashion to make certain that the children are the direct beneficiaries of these resources? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The kinds of things suggested in Mr. Steen's remarks and what I had thought of previously when I heard of this tax credit were things like a breakfast program, or a hot meal program in the schools or programs whereby the children are the absolute direct beneficiaries of the program as opposed to going to the parents. Now, I understand if you have a differing philosophy on that, but the fact remains true that children are living in poverty, but it is not always necessary for lack of funds. What I am asking is, is there any provision where any of this money could be redirected into other programs that we would be more assured would directly benefit the children of the Northwest Territories? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Then I would ask the Minister, what about other funds that may be available to provide education? If parents are going to receive more money and have more family income to spend, I think there is a need in the Northwest Territories for education with respect to parenting, providing nutritional foods, a lot of different areas that would benefit children. Are there any other resources available for that type of thing? So, the parents get more money, but now can we assist them in spending it more wisely? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will save the debate with the Minister of Finance for how people take care of their children for another day. There are all kinds of indicators in our northern society that children are suffering and need more support and if this government has the ability to provide that, either directly to them or through their parents

and through education programs, then I would support it. I will save that debate for another day. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
