Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I mentioned in my Member’s statement that I have a few concerns about the search that the Premier is on to find a vision for the NWT. In my experience and in my view, a vision, when it’s written down, is usually about three or four lines of text, and the questions that are part of the Premier’s process are very broad, very vague, and that’s, as I mentioned, the answers that we have gathered, or the Premier has gathered, are a very broad range. It leads to my concern about how we are going to end up with a vision from the results of these forums.
Any time we enter into consultation, I think it’s acknowledged by Members, it’s acknowledged by the public that there’s a cost involved. We’ve gone through five forums, I think, to date, and I think there may be a couple more yet to come. So there’s obviously a cost involved. I know that the Assembly approved a budget for this particular exercise, the Northern Leaders Forum exercise, but I don’t know whether or not the Creating Our Future was part of this exercise. So to the Premier I’d like to know: What is the cost of this Creating Our Future exercise that he has embarked on, what will it cost by the time it’s done, and how much of the, I think, $860,000 that the Assembly approved is being used for this exercise? Thank you.
