Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, because so many of our communities are small, remote, predominantly Aboriginal, it is important for us to recognize that resources and programs be designed in such a way as to make sure they are treated just as well as the larger centres. Through all the years I have been a Member of this Legislature, it has been the challenge put to every Cabinet that I have been a part of. This government is no different. We believe that we need to be vigilant all the time to make sure that the small, remote isolated communities are respected and supported as much as possible by this government without unduly creating hardships on other communities as well. This has been our view and I think we are accountable to this House for the way in which we design our programs, our policies and allocate our resources. We are prepared to answer questions and be accountable for that. I believe if there are adjustments that need to be made, we are open to suggestions. Thank you.
