Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yesterday in the Legislative Assembly we raised the issue of the brand new Yellowknife correctional centre. That is another capital project for our great city of Yellowknife. Along with that capital project, Mr. Speaker, comes a brand new paving project for the city of Yellowknife and the highway coming into Yellowknife. Along with that also comes millions of dollars of assistance to the gold mines in Yellowknife. Along with that comes the majority of effort of the economic development department and the Minister of RWED and that whole department in encouraging diamond-cutting facilities and polishing facilities in Yellowknife. On top of that, they are going to take a trade mission to Nunavut for the businesses in Yellowknife. I congratulate the government for all those things they are doing for our great capital.
Mr. Speaker, we have many, many other communities out there. We have many regions out there that are going through economic hard times. We do not have enough money to assist the fishermen who come off the lake after 40 below in the winter, frostbitten, skin-tight, working hard, pulling nets. What do we do with those people? We cut $150,000 from their subsidy. That is a whole winter freight subsidy for those poor hardworking men and women. We are cutting drug and alcohol programs. We cut funding to the small communities that harvest renewable resources and try to make a living by producing final products for those, but yet we can continually invest in our great capital city, Yellowknife, and we do that by putting budgets forward in this House that call for renovations. Then we change them to new projects. No debate, no process for Ordinary Members in this Assembly to have any input into making those decisions. I guess this is a new era, a new way of governing. It must be a government that cannot see beyond our city limits. There are people out there who depend heavily on this government. I would like to ask for unanimous consent to continue, Mr. Speaker.
