Thank you. I will certainly take the Minister's suggestion and that's what the community is saying, is to look at industry in terms of how they could help. We're not shy and I'm telling the Minister. Industry has done a lot of good for Colville Lake, in some sense, in terms of helping them out with the high cost of living. But it's also the responsibility...I mean, look at the Yellowknife Airport; it keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger. Look at the small communities. Look at the calculation of this acquisition in terms of capital expenditures, $8 million going into Yellowknife. The total acquisition is $9 million. So you tell me where the fairness is. You tell me where the fairness is in that in terms of the capital acquisitions. I'm asking for this year, next year, for Colville Lake and other small communities. We will think about it when we're standing outside in Colville Lake and freezing...(inaudible)...We'll think about it; what this government and this department in terms of a building that needs to be done in Colville Lake. It's mind boggling again. They certainly will go to the industry and ask about a building unit and of the runway. Again, I'm frustrated and venting to the department in terms of the way Colville Lake is being looked at or any other small community. Mr. Chairman, I think I've conveyed as much as I can to the department on this issue here. There's no fairness, that's all I have to say. It breaks my heart and it's a crying shame in this day and age that millions and billions of dollars spent in the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
