Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I suppose this is one scenario that we should be asking for the 10-year period rather than the five-year period, but that’s just to me delaying the inevitable. This is a situation that this government
has gotten itself into and I think we have the responsibility or should have the responsibility to try to get ourselves out of it the best that we can and not saddle a future government with the debt.
My belief is we probably should take a look at the infrastructure spending next year on our capital projects and we should look at rolling that up and putting that money into this project to make sure that we do take responsibility. Now, that will mean projects around the Northwest Territories not getting concluded, but that’s the responsible thing to do. That’s this government taking care of things and not leaving it to the next government if it’s five years or to the future government if it’s 10 years. That’s even if we do get a commitment from the federal government to do this. I really hope we do get something, but my belief is that we should take that responsibility on. We should go into that with our eyes wide open and try to make sure that we do not saddle future governments with this debt the best that we can. We want to leave office in 18 months not hanging this over the head of future governments. If we can downplay that somewhat by taking some capital spending next year and directing it towards this project, then that’s what we should do. Bite the bullet for a few years and pay this off and be done with it. That would be my recommendation. I can’t see myself, well, I’ll support it. I will support it because I’m at the... I don’t know what else to do.
