The reason I ask these questions is because, really, as a Regular Member you don’t see much proof that the government is pursuing ideas or issues that are brought up by Regular Members. Just yesterday I had an exchange with the Minister of Justice about the possibility of a penitentiary being located in the Northwest Territories and some substantial investment of federal dollars here in the Northwest Territories. I’m talking about the possibility of a university, an increased military presence here in the Northwest

Territories, and those northern development jobs that are located in Ottawa.

Who is in charge of those files and when are those types of issues raised with the various federal Ministers? Obviously from the discussion I had with the Minister of Justice yesterday, they fall on deaf ears and they don’t get raised with the federal Ministers.
