Mr. Speaker, I think that is the problem that we are seeing here in regards to attracting people to fill these positions in communities, but, more importantly, ensuring that their salaries are compatible with other positions in communities. I know we increased the amount of money for mental health and alcohol and drug positions. We are looking at increases to the amount of money for housing authorities and

whatnot. I think it is important that we also look at the area of economic development; make sure we have the resources there to basically ensure that the salaries that are being provided to these people in these positions are adequate and, more importantly, that we are taking advantage of those government programs and services for the communities.

Would the Minister seriously consider a review of the salaries of the economic development positions throughout the Northwest Territories? If possible, could he increase their wages so that they can come in line with other professions? Thank you.
