Mr. Speaker, as a government, clearly we have responsibility for all people in the Northwest Territories. In addition to that, there are some specific programs that are earmarked for Aboriginal people and we have a responsibility to ensure that money is spent for the purposes that the federal government provided it to us for. The other money is for everyone. How we spend it in smaller communities, for example, where the majority of people are Aboriginal versus large centres is something that we, in this House have to decide. Thank you.
