Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, when I look at this bill, it -- you know, it doesn't really require the -- or it doesn't require the Minister to share any information because it says that the Minister may disclose it, and there's no definitive requirement.

For me, the economy is very important in the Northwest Territories even more so now that we -- you know, with what we've been going through in these last few years. We need jobs. We need training. You know, we need -- you know, we need opportunities for -- you know, for NGOs to, you know, to provide support as well to the economy through, you know, maybe upgrading students and that type of thing as well. But, you know -- so with this bill, I don't really see -- like I say, I don't see any teeth in it, and I don't see it really doing anything. And except, you know, it'll sit there on the books, like a lot of the legislation that we actually have and doesn't really make a difference.

We have a process. Like the Minister said, we do have a process that's in place right now that we're going through, and I'd like to let that kind of roll out on -- you know, and see what comes of, and the future Assembly, you know, the Members hopefully will have a say in what happens there and as well as hopefully, you know, with Indigenous governments as well because they've got -- you know, their participation is paramount in anything we do. So, yeah, I can't support this bill either just being, you know, on the side of, you know, economic development at this point and, you know -- and the stages that we're in in the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
