We must join together, as the elders have said. We must join together like the arrow, and the arrowhead being us leaders and the stem of the arrow being our people. We shoot with the support that we have from them. And the bow being our elders to support us for what we're going to do for our people, and to guide us and to know who to work with. And our children being the people, as little as they are, but as innocent and honest as they are, shooting the arrow for us. They're a gift from God and I believe in miracles. I think miracles can happen. Look at your own children. They're miracles. Why not believe them?

So, Mr. Speaker, the recommendations to the Premier and his Cabinet to look at our elders' recommendations like a hunter who makes strong recommendations to other hunters to go where there's good moose and caribou to feed their own people. More importantly, to share the moose or caribou, which is a value in fairness and equitable and that everybody should be treated the same, certain parts have to go to certain people.

We in the North are hard workers. Right down the Mackenzie Valley we're not shy of work. Look at the elders' life. They've been here for thousands and thousands of years. We must, as leaders, plug the dam of the resources that are leaving the Northwest Territories.

I thank the Members for their comments and I have to thank the House for allowing us to have this discussion. Thank you.
