Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It is great that we have committees that review the books, but I would suggest that by the time the books arrive to us, the money is already spoken for. We are just approving and questioning here and there. We do not have the time to really dissect the budgets to make a big difference, and if we do, it takes another long process.

We have $6.4 million. This government has been in operation for 33 years in the Northwest Territories alone. In that time, we have not increased our education level. Our languages are going down. It is not working, Mr. Chairman.

We have to have fundamental changes in the way we approach things and that takes planning. That takes sitting down and really planning and adjusting our budgets accordingly, not based on the last 33 years, but based on what we know we need in the future.

It is frustrating sitting here looking at these statistics. Every negative statistic in this book has an aboriginal name associated with it. It is very frustrating. If I am going to feel like I am contributing, I need to feel like I am planning, I am starting from the beginning, because the plans in the past have not worked, Mr. Chairman.

All I am asking is for a commitment from the Minister to look at ways towards solving those problems in a fundamentally different way. That is all I am asking for, at this point. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
