Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I was listening to the radio, CBC Radio, yesterday while I was driving and one of the comments made was the federal coffers are so high that money is coming out of the Liberals' ears.

While here in the Northwest Territories, our government is introducing taxes, such as the proposed hotel tax, to penny-pinch $1.3 million from the people of the Northwest Territories to inject into the tourism industry.

Our Minister of Finance and our Government Leader are negotiating with the federal government. This Assembly has been negotiating since day one. The last Assembly negotiated since day one. The Assembly before that, too. When is this government going to do something different, something outrageous, to get the attention of the Canadian population and the federal government to get some results?
