Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my original question was with the Minister of Finance but my colleague Mr. Roland addressed it, so I will proceed with it from a different angle. We have heard a lot of talk about how we are going to try to attract Ottawa to get some more funding to address our needs as a government. I was hoping when the question was asked that the Minister would have a whole bundle of good news for us to take back to our constituents, but obviously that is not the case.

One of the things that I have been interested in is the fact that in all of our discussions in the House here as to how we are going to try to get more money from Ottawa, the name of Ethel Blondin-Andrew, our MP, does not come up very often. I was wondering if this government uses Ethel Blondin-Andrew extensively and try to get her to raise some issues in Ottawa for us and put some pressure on the government to address our fiscal needs in the Northwest Territories. I address my question to Mr. Handley.
