Mahsi cho, Mr. Speaker. My question today is for the Premier. Mr. Speaker, I spoke the other day about the importance of employment to people in the Northwest Territories. At that point in time, I entertained the idea of diversifying the Northwest Territories economy. I believe through the transitional document, we considered the direction of how diversifying the economy and taking the evolution of jobs could benefit the Northwest Territories. I would like to ask the Premier if he would direct his government to start a process that would look at a study of the cost-benefit analysis of the socio-economic conditions of the people of the Northwest Territories by devolving 150 government positions into the 27 non-tax-based communities in the Northwest Territories.
