Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I’ll thank the Member for raising that question because it is a good one. It is an area of discussion that’s been held a number of places across our Territory, from youth to seniors to businesses. This is not an organization. There is no company. There is no mandate established. What it was, was an invite to participate that went out to quite a number of people that were invited and those that accepted showed up. I was invited. I originally wasn’t going to go but thought, well, if there’s a discussion about what might happen or what the possibilities are in the Territory, I thought I might as well see what’s being said and who’s attending. So I attended that event, and the discussion that occurred looked at the possibilities of a Territory in the future, in 20 years or more, of what we could be. That’s how that came forward and ideas were put back and forth as to how do we get a discussion going amongst people in the Territory. A number of them decided to launch a Declaration for the NWT.com, and a number have decided to, as well, put ads out there in papers to get discussion going about those seven principle areas. Thank you.
