Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today marks the end of our session to conclude the last budget for the combined two territories. From now on, there will be two separate budgets. I thought it would be appropriate today for me to recap some of the areas that have been of concern during the last month and a half that we have been sitting. One of the areas that I have dealt with is the economy of Yellowknife in various ways. One area of importance was the downturn in northern mining. I addressed that concern by trying to get the federal government to address the gold reserves in this country. Canada is made up of many gold mines and yet Canada sold off its reserves. I was interested this morning in hearing a report that former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney is in Europe talking with the bankers there to try and dissuade them from selling off their gold reserves. So that was an interesting commentary I heard this morning. The other issue I had was the splitting of the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs, mainly because I feel that we need a concerted concentration on northern economic development and northern issues. The Minister does an excellent job, but she is overwhelmed with the Indian Affairs portfolio, and naturally so, and we should congratulate her and compliment her on her efforts there. We also need help here in the north, Mr. Speaker. The other item was the transfer of jobs to the north that are presently within the federal government departments. I was very interested again to hear on the radio this morning that the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs is addressing this issue and they are looking at ways and means by which this can be done. That was an excellent report on my part. Mr. Speaker, to conclude I would like to take a moment to thank the staff of the Legislative Assembly and the staff of the various departments of the territorial government for being understanding and of great assistance during this session and during our last budget together. Thank you, very much, Mr. Speaker.
