Mahsi cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for Minister Antoine, also known as the Deputy Premier. It deals with my Member's statement earlier today. Mr. Speaker, there are approximately 3,830 jobs in the Northwest Territories government. Of those, 203 are in Fort Simpson; 325 in Fort Smith; 296 in Hay River; 336 in Inuvik; 1,978 in Yellowknife. If you do the calculations, the other 28 communities share 658 positions. These are current to December 31, 2002 statistics, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it took a constitutional challenge to get representation here. Do we need a constitutional challenge to get GNWT employment representation across the board in the NWT? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
