That was very beautiful, and the Member likes to throw this kind of stuff out there, but he knows as well as I do, and anybody that's been a part of this Assembly for a while knows that we work in partnership with Ottawa. We try to put ourselves in the position where we're partners with them and not just take handouts from Ottawa. No, they don't dictate to us what projects we put on the ground, but we work with them. That's good leadership, good government. We work with them as an Assembly, and when I say Assembly, I mean all 19 of us because a lot of the decisions we make here through our budgeting process are decisions that are made through this Assembly.

So, Mr. Speaker, we do work with Ottawa, we are partners with them, and as a small jurisdiction and, having been to a number of FPTs with our larger counterparts, we have to go down there and put ourselves in a position where we're partnering with them. They're making investments in the Northwest Territories; we're putting our share of resources towards those investments, so we don't just sit here and wait with open hands for them to give us some money. We are partners with them and continue to do so.
