Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I believe that the Minister Ms. Jane Stewart is convinced, after three years or so of study by her officials that there is one thing that is absolutely clear, that none of the officials working for the federal government in Ottawa responsible for oil and gas and mineral activity in the Northwest Territory, that not one of them is interested one bit in working or living here in the Northwest Territories. We also know that they would be totally demoralized if it were even suggested that they have to live and work in the area where they carry out their responsibilities every day. I believe that the good Minister, Ms. Jane Stewart, will make a decision in the next few weeks that will see the moving of positions from Ottawa to the North so that the people who are responsible within the federal government for administering oil and gas activities, for giving out permits and exploration licenses, will finally have to live and work here in the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
