Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Northwest Territories Dene-Metis Development Fund today finds itself under-capitalized and is seeking additional capital to ensure long-term viability. Mr. Speaker, the support of this government is essential to confirm that it not only supports big business but it is also committed to supporting our northern businesses that are providing the needed business support to businesses outside of the major centres. Mr. Speaker, I will have questions for the Minister of RWED during question period. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
