Bill 1: Appropriation Act, No. 2, 1994-95   that in the long term, unless you do something that will improve our economy, we will progressively get more dependent on the federal government.

Question 117-12(5): Access To Federal Infrastructure Program By Northern Communities   a matching contribution from a municipality or a provincial government.

Question O537-12(2): Lack Of Government Decentralization To Kitikmeot Region  . Speaker, in the Northwest Territories we have to use everything that is available to us to develop our economy.

I believe that it encourages an economic base, it allows for a transportation infrastructure to be built. I believe that it is a good initiative to look at. Mr. Speaker, as I have said, since

Question 260-12(4): GNWT Takeover Of Federal Tank Farm  Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
