Mr. Speaker, I would ask the Minister if he could go back to his Cabinet and, as the Premier said, have a “can do” attitude and look at possibilities in the future years, not this year, next year, have that “can do” attitude. Can we build several log homes for communities like Colville Lake or Nahanni Butte that could prove to the Minister that this could get done? I think this type of initiative in our communities would be very productive. I think we can do it. I think we need to strengthen our ability to have belief in our people. We have some really good log builders in the Northwest Territories. Would the Minister be willing to make a commitment to the people in the North that he will take this type of initiative back to Cabinet and see how they can do it? Build log homes in some of the communities that make sense, who are traditionally in that type of environment where they do trapping the majority of their life.
