Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, again, I'm going to go back to that 25 percent. Mr. Speaker, our municipalities are not even included. We already know our municipal governments are underfunded. You know, they need to keep the lights on. Every one of us have either had family, friends, or anybody, or we take part in any kind -- garbage, you know, snow removal, all these things are going to cost more for the municipal governments. So why are we not giving any of this money back to our municipal governments out of this 25 percent that we're holding back for our government slush fund? I don't know, because I don't know what it is. If this government wants us to vote in favour of a made-in-the-NWT, it needs to fit the NWT and it needs to fit our municipal governments, our residents, and not just the mines, all our businesses. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
