Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we're basing it on the fact that the Government of the Northwest Territories needs the appropriate tools to make decisions on spending patterns. It's not only about spending $100 million. As I stated earlier, we're spending a billion dollars and should we as the Government of the Northwest Territories, how should we spend that money? Should it be focused on schools? Should it be focused on training programs? Should it be focused on infrastructure, airports, highways? Those are the things we have to use this piece for. In a sense, the policy will be developed and will become a macroeconomic lens that decision-makers like ourselves will have that tool as we make spending decisions as well as revenue-raising decisions. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
