Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. As we all know, the economic situation in the Inuvik region is in dire straits and not as plentiful in regard to job creation and economic opportunities like some other regions, but I would like to ask the Minister, especially one of the methods we have been using in the negotiating contract process is to ensure we get as much economic opportunities and benefits out of these negotiated contracts to stimulate not only the community, but the region as a whole. Especially when it comes down to employment opportunities for the Inuvik region and communities and also the opportunities for the local suppliers who have made it their business to establish business in the Inuvik region to supply goods and services to this government. Mr. Speaker, my question to the Minister is, what is this department doing to ensure that the maximum benefits from negotiated contracts are perceived in the local and regional level in the Mackenzie Delta?
