The Premier is right; there is no silver bullet. Energy seems to be one of the major factors, the high cost of food in our Northern Stores and the lack of employment. We have the resources. Infrastructure seems to be another factor in our smaller, remote communities. If we have one litre of milk here in Yellowknife, one litre of milk in Fort Good Hope or Colville Lake, why is there a difference between that and up in Ulukhaktok? What’s the difference? Where does the price add onto that litre of milk? That is what the people are asking. Or do we just accept the fact that living in the Northwest Territories is costing us

a lot of money, to the point of $2 million in subsidies and the fact that when you live further outside the regional centres, you are going to pay a higher price and that’s the fact of the matter, Jack?

Energy is only one component. We have the energy in our communities. The sun doesn’t shine all the time and sometimes there’s no wind. We’ve been asking for wood pellets for a long, long time. There’s still a bunch of barriers to get there. I want to look at some of the real matter-of-fact issues that are the bread and butter issues today, not 10 or 15 years from now.
