Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this government, in general, has spent a lot of dollars promoting diamonds and diamond mining companies and jobs and a lot of oil and gas companies and the jobs associated with that industry. When are we going to start promoting the creation of employment opportunities in our communities? We need an economic base. Not everybody can work out of the communities. There are family units to consider. There are obligations at the community level. Will the Minister work with his Cabinet colleagues to start looking at creating government positions in our communities so that we can create an economic base and provide an option other than income support? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
