Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This is an initiative that I think is very timely, appropriate and important. I would just like to address the one final issue of dependency and the need to not only look at the new fiscal arrangement

with Ottawa. We have to do more than re-examine our strategies. I think specifically, for instance, of roads to resources, an initiative where we not only re-examined, but we came up with concrete ways that will tie into this new fiscal arrangement that will allow us to do specific things that will allow for the growth of the western Northwest Territories. I ask the Minister if he could speak to that particular issue. Thank you.
