Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question will be directed at this time to the Deputy Premier, in line with my Member's statement on jobs moving to the North. I think it needs to be said that the timing of the notification from the federal government is a good one. It is good to see jobs coming to the North. In working with the federal government, I hope that this government is looking at the issue of where they would put new employees in the Northwest Territories.

I am not sure to what degree we can influence the federal government, but it would be nice to know that we as a government would lead by example in the sense of putting jobs where the activity is centered, so I would like to know from the Deputy Premier, have they had any discussions with the federal government on the positioning of these jobs? Thank you.
