Thank you, Madam Chair. With respect to this motion to delete $491,000, I am not going to be supporting this either. I have given it further consideration and fiscal policy and future growth of our Northwest Territories depends on strong advice and strong programming. It's a huge expense to increase our workforce by $491,000, but often when you are looking at the big picture, you are looking at equalization panels, you are looking at a strategy to devolve the powers from the federal government over to us, you are also looking at resource revenue sharing arrangements. Those are the kinds of things that we want, we are asking for that. One of the ways that we can best understand is we need the proper advice and the proper consultation in order to get this done on the macroeconomic scale. With that, Madam Chair, I will be speaking against the motion. Mahsi.
