Mr. Speaker, in light of my statement, and also with the National Day of Action in regard to the First Nations to court and the situation we find with our First Nations people, I don’t think the Northwest Territories is any different from any jurisdiction in Canada.

I’d like to ask the Deputy Premier: exactly what is this government doing to deal with the poverty that First Nations children and families find themselves in, in the Northwest Territories? More importantly, what are we doing to stimulate those community economies so these people can get out of poverty?
