Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My concern is, although this government is recognizing the economic downturn, I see a couple of inconsistencies. One, for example, is ,say, for whatever reason, the Laing Building goes on the market and you take it off and, say, you cannot lease it back to the government. It does not mean that space is not available. It is there for the rest of the City of Yellowknife and people looking for office space. It is still there. Another issue, and this is coming mainly from my riding, is this government's sudden concern for economic downturn in communities. In my case, this is ten, 12 years too late. When the community of the Beaufort Delta was booming at 7,000 to 8,000 people, I do not recall a plan of the government to help out businesses that had investments in that community, but we are going at it with this.

The question I have for the Minister is, was there a plan? I know this goes back a long way, but could you give me that information? Was there a plan by the government to deal with the downturn in the Beaufort Delta economy to help out businesses that were running at the time?
