Mr. Speaker, the results were very positive. Mr. Speaker, in all seriousness, we have discussed this for a number of years. In fact, very early in the life of this government the Member raised with me the notion of doing macroeconomic models for the Northwest Territories. Given our limited fiscal ability, given the limited ability for taxation and royalties and so on, it has to be somewhat limited. So, Mr. Speaker, we are working on a number of fronts on that. Trying to assess, for example, the benefits of BIP or even the benefits of a northern manufacturing policy and so on are pieces of it. Mr. Speaker, it is a very complex task and I don't have a document that says here's a macroeconomic model and its implications for the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
