Thank you, Mr. Speaker, honourable Members. In the Northwest Territories, we are nowhere near that proportion as found in Ontario and I doubt we are even close to what is found in most other provinces, but the demand for services is growing very quickly. Within the next five or ten years, we may be faced with having to find $100 million to maintain services the public expects to be able to access. We certainly will not save that much through changes in governance. We have to look far ahead, not just a year or two.

Mr. Speaker. I urge the Minister to take the initiative and start the dialogue. It will not be an easy one, nor will the answers happen as quickly as we would all like to see. However, if we do not start the discussion soon, we might run out of money for anything, but health care in the not-too-distant future. Mr. Speaker, let us get started. Thank you.
