Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just a couple of quick comments on two areas in particular. One is the Shared Services Centre that has been on the radar for the last couple of years. I haven’t heard too much of it lately but I’ve had a couple of constituents asking me what is the status, is it happening soon, do we have to worry about being centralized, and I, quite frankly, didn’t know the answers. If I can get some specifics on the nature of the Shared Services Centre. Where are we in the process? Is it happening? Is it coming down the pipes?
The other area that I’ve had some concern about is the borrowing limit of the Northwest Territories. Quite frankly, it seems two things are going on: our MP has put forward a bill in front of the House of Commons to have our borrowing limit increased and at the same time the Government of Canada is doing a review of our borrowing limit. I’m curious if the Minister can give a sense as to which avenue we are supporting. Are we supporting the bill from our Member of Parliament or are we supporting the process that is underway which involves trying to identify or trying to encourage the federal government not to include self-financing or self-liquidating debt against our borrowing limit? If we can get them to not count those things, I don’t think we need a borrowing limit increase. I think we would have lots of room to do the things that we need to do in the best interests of the people of the Northwest Territories. Just two areas of interest and I’ll bring them up during detail, but I’m certainly interested to know what’s happening with shared services and where this government officially stands on our borrowing limit and which avenue to improve things in that area we’re supporting.
