Mr. Speaker, I am going to ask the Minister to pick it up and have a really close look at it because there is a very small two-letter word in here. The word is "or." Let's get into it then. The NWT resident means any individual who makes a representation or provides evidence that is in either case reasonably relied on, et cetera, et cetera. It is that, or that is the betrayal, Mr. Speaker. So anybody can walk in and say I am a northerner. Bingo. They are hired, but the guy who is invested and his family has been here perhaps for generations is on no better terms. Mr. Speaker, does the SEA set any hiring targets for northerners by contractors or operators, as we have done with all other major development projects in the NWT?
