The ongoing negotiations between our government and the federal government over resource revenue sharing and devolution continue to come with a hefty price. There's something fundamentally wrong when a territory with a finite amount of resources such as the Northwest Territories is left having to pay the tab chasing what basically is our money. There is something that is absolutely fundamentally wrong with how this works and I don't agree that we should have to use what little resources we have chasing the money. We should actually go back to the federal government and demand that they pay us back the money that we have spent trying to get what is rightfully ours. It is just something that doesn't sit well with me.
I just wanted to mention, too, that I have enjoyed working with my colleagues in the government over the course of the past year. We have a long road ahead of us and I feel that we have to have more of a vision for where we are going, for what we are doing and how we are going to get there. This vision, Mr. Speaker, has to include everyone that calls the Northwest Territories home. Thank you.
