Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, it is awfully hard to follow some of these initiatives this government is taking on. One minute they are talking about reviewing the Power Corporation, next we establish a hydro strategy initiative, next we have an energy initiative. It seems like we are tripping over each other with all of these initiatives.

At the end of it all, where are we going by way of simplifying and regulating what goes on in government? It seems like the bureaucracy just continues to blossom with no real controls in place to streamline the government so that we are structured in such a way that we are affordable. We cannot be spending all the money running a bureaucracy without having dollars to run programs and services. If anything, that is where we should be focusing.

I think with the Power Corporation, it seems like the potential they have is out there but we are restricting them from reaching that potential by saying, "Well, sorry, you cannot move on that because we are doing a review."

On one hand, they are looking at taking over petroleum products. The next minute they are doing a review on the Power Corporation. Then we have the situation that happened in Hay River, the whole idea of privatization and even the idea of selling off the corporation.

I think for myself, it does not do justice to the corporation. It is a viable asset to this government and to the people of the Northwest Territories. I think with us taking on all of these different initiatives and leaving the Power Corporation sitting on the sidelines looking in, my view is that is not the way to build a corporation that benefits the shareholders, the people of the Northwest Territories.

I would like to suggest to the Minister that he seriously relinquish some of these initiatives that should not be in the mandate of these different departments and put it where it should be. In my view, it should be with the Power Corporation.
