Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Roland.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will be only too happy to say we have provided the information. In fact, tabled in this House is the GNWT's response to the report on pre-budget consultations. Within there is a whole section on this concept and what it could mean for the Northwest Territories and for people in the Northwest Territories. So we tried to present that. We have tried to present a vision. Unfortunately, it seems the Member wants to snuff out that vision and make sure we continue in the same process we are, crawling along at a snail's pace. Mr. Speaker, we have a vision and we are not blind. We are going to try to make something happen for the people of the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
