Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am just trying to understand some of the discretion here on this particular case. I keep going back to the fact that this is $800,000. It could have done a lot of good to the territorial government. I can also take the perspective of the government and see that at least we are getting our
principal back. To that end, I will clearly say thank you. If we don't get something back, obviously we will all hurt. It's the assurity part over the long term and the fact that there are a few issues here.
If this is an industry that the bank is even afraid of backing, yet we have multi-international companies coming forward stepping into this industry without assistance, and I go back to the banks are uncomfortable, what public interest are we truly protecting? That creates some concern. This was clearly one of those instances where we are getting back our principal, which is great, but it shows some weakness in the system.
My biggest fear, as I leave this -- this will be my last comment -- is how does the government ensure that I get satisfaction from this because as we proceed forward, my community and my constituents have to know that our government is doing what we can. I see this as lost money that is owed to the Government of the Northwest Territories. The next time, how will all Regular Members hear about something like this, something that goes awry in the future -- be it whatever circumstance; if it's $5,000, maybe someone is being railroaded due to bad circumstances, bad credit, where we are allowing to let $800,000 -- how will we be assured that we will know this is going on long before the ink has dried? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
