Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister responsible for Finance, Mr. Handley. On January 17th, in the Premier's address to the people of the Northwest Territories, he said:
"With a gas pipeline and low cost of hydro-electric power, we can look at options for dealing with high fuel prices that make it difficult for people to pay their utility bills and heat their homes. In the short term, we will continue to find ways to assist those people who are the most affected by rising fuel prices."
Mr. Speaker, I guess I would like to ask the question that Ms. Lee has already asked. Why are we up against an arbitrary deadline and why are we going to find out about the details when it is released in the paper next week?
