Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. My questions today are for the Minister of Finance and it goes back to last week when the Minister provided to the House his fiscal and economic update.
One of the things that I read in there, with great interest, was continuing the current fiscal strategy allows the Government of the Northwest Territories to move away from the debt limit while still allowing for some minimal investment to support priorities identified by the 17th Legislative Assembly. I think
the financial situation for the incoming government is going to be quite tight. The first question I’d have for the Minister of Finance is: I know he talked about the borrowing limit in his fiscal update but he didn’t mention where exactly the discussions are with the federal government on that borrowing limit today, and I’d like to get an update from the Minister where exactly those discussions are at.
