Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions today are for the Premier and it gets back to my Member’s statement where I was talking about a federal parliamentary standing committee that came to the North. They visited all three northern territories. They were here in Yellowknife on November the 19th and 20th of last year. They

looked at the areas of aboriginal affairs and

northern development, they were here talking about potential barriers and solutions to economic development in the Northwest Territories and, as I stated in my Member’s statement, Mr. Speaker, I found it quite out of the ordinary that I had to find out about this committee coming to Yellowknife via a third party in Ottawa. The government never let Regular Members know that this committee was coming and didn’t invite any of us or have any discussions with Regular Members about the presentations that they presented that day to that committee. I’d like to ask the Premier why that was. Why didn’t the government seek the input of the Standing Committee on Economic Development and Infrastructure before those presentations were made to that standing committee? Thank you.
