Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just wanted to sort of identify one thing that I thought I was missing. I agree with pretty much everything that Bob and Dave have been saying. I thought the statement was good.
But to me, in listening to it and reading through it again, the one thing that was missing to me was reference and/or conversation around the voluntary sector. You’ve heard me talking about it before; you’ll hear me talking about it again. The voluntary sector, in my opinion, is clearly one area where we can add a significant amount of value to the residents of the Northwest Territories. It was discussed during our strategic planning session. It is part of our strategic plan. But there was limited
reference to it in the sessional statement and the value that it can add to the health and wellness of communities.
Overall I liked what he had to say. I agree with much of it. I do agree with Mr. Bromley’s points as well as Mr. Ramsay’s points, but I did feel that there could have been a lot more talk, or at least some talk — you know, a little bit more substance — around the support to the voluntary sector.
