Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I know the Member has issues with the macroeconomic policy. He's made it clear since we've discussed this. In fact, at one point I believe he was suggesting it should go into ITI or Executive. It seems anywhere else but Finance. Now it's why are we doing it. The fact is this issue was raised as far back as 1997 that the government should have something like this in place. A good example was, for example, when diamond mines were starting to be established should we pursue secondary industry or should we focus on taxation. That's one of the reasons why we're at this stage today. The fact is, we spend a billion dollars in the Northwest Territories. We do have some of our own-source revenues. Yes, we're tied to the federal government, but we shouldn't
stop and bury our heads in the sand and not proceed. The fact is right now we're in the process of developing that policy. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
