Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this government has been getting into agreements with the mining industry and also has talks with the oil and gas industry and we have social and economic agreements in place. But I would just like to get some assurances from the Minister that those agreements are open to all residents of the Northwest Territories, regardless of whether they are from the Mackenzie Delta or the Beaufort Sea or the South Slave or the Deh Cho. The opportunities that are open and available should be filled by northern residents first, rather than having people come from the south to fill those positions. What is the government doing to ensure that the residents of the Northwest Territories have the advantage to take on opportunities in those industries?
