Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I spoke in my Member’s statement about a problem in my riding, a very large problem that’s over a year old. I will address my questions today to the Premier, as my problem, when it blows up, is going to involve more than just one department. As the leader of the government, I am addressing my questions to him.
You know the people in Northland are not looking to be bailed out. They are willing to bear their fair share of a project, but they really need help and they need help in an emergent way.
We don’t have any programs right now to address the situation. I have been told that in the past. But there are things we can do as a government. We invent programs all the time; we bend rules on programs all the time. So in the absence of any action by the federal government, I’d like to ask the Premier what this government will do to assist my constituents and NWT residents. Thank you.
