Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'd like to thank the Member for that. I think it's important that we as a legislature and the Legislative Assembly do more to not only promote the Legislative Assembly, but find ways of enhancing the political structure of the legislature and the Government of the Northwest Territories through other means. Youth Parliament is one means, but we also have to look at curriculum development so it can be presented in the schools. Also ensuring that we do have some sort of documentation that a lot of people haven't been able to have an opportunity to see what goes on in this legislature, but also understand the makeup of the consensus government. The young man that you mentioned from Hay River, his last name is Unka. He started in this legislature as a Page, he attended the Youth Parliament and now he's a Page in the Senate of Canada attending University of Ottawa studying political science. I think that's the type of effort we have to find ways of promoting, not only to our youth, but also people in the Northwest Territories, that you can achieve your goals. It doesn't mean you have to be a politician at the end of the day, but there is a career that is out there with regard to the area of political science and the political field. One of the things I can consider is working with the Department of Education, Culture and Employment to start promoting these things in the schools so that students can take a course that looks at the social and cultural makeup of the Northwest Territories, as well as the political makeup of the Northwest Territories and how the Legislative Assembly works. That's something that I think we have to look at and I'd like to thank the Member for the question.
