Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to thank the Minister for those numbers. When you are talking about 150 people out of 2000, you have quite a ratio. When you are talking 30 people out of 700, it affects the community more drastically than 2000 people. Maybe he should consider looking at his statistics and see exactly how they affect the communities, based on percentages, not based on the size of the community. If you have 2000 people, there is a difference between 2000 and 700. I would like to ask the Minister, why is he trying to use this scenario now, yet the other communities are probably worse off now than they were compared to Yellowknife? That is why a lot of our people are having to come to Yellowknife to try to find those opportunities because there are none in our communities. Maybe he should take that scenario into account when he does his calculations.
