Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, an economic strategy is critical for the west as we go off on our own after division, and my colleague from Iqaluit may snicker as he has hundreds of millions poured in by the federal government to his community, but we do not have that luxury in the west. I consider this a very serious issue for us. I would like reassurances from the Minister that this Economic Strategy will, in fact, be specific and concrete and not a document that is out there which is so broad that only speaks to the general principles, but we are going to talk about how do we get roads up in the Valley and how do we connect all of the communities on land? How do we deal with those very critical issues? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
