Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in my Member’s statement today I talked about programs and services and the need to make sure that they’re fairly distributed throughout the Northwest Territories. Mr. Speaker, it does bother me when I hear about a community, whether it’s in Wrigley or it’s Tsiigehtchic, that they don’t have fair services, because the first thing they do is look to Yellowknife and assume that we have everything, and I don’t think that’s necessarily the truth. But I also feel for the communities and want to support them when they need their services. That’s why my Member’s statement was sort of crafted in its way, because I’m concerned about fair distribution in a transparent way. So, Mr. Speaker, my question to the Premier today is: what transparent Cabinet policy drives the measures of equal and fair distribution of programs, services and capital investment in the NWT?
