Detail. Thank you very much. We will defer the department summary found on page 10-2 and review the estimates by activity summary. I would like to turn your attention to 10-4 in your capital estimates book.

Thank you. I will now rise and report progress.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. NWT exploration takes a hit. Investment in environment is not as strong as it should be. Mineral exploration is booming in Nunavut. These are the media headlines to which every resident of the NWT is reading. What is interesting is that it is also occurring at the heels of a successful geoscience forum. Pretty sad, but moreover, quite embarrassing.

Have investors lost confidence in the Northwest Territories? By sheer numbers, it is very clear they have. Even our Chamber of Mines is quick to point out that, in comparison to our two neighbours, something has gone wrong...

I’d like to thank the Minister. I’d like to thank Mr. Campbell for joining us today. I’d ask the Sergeant-at-Arms to please escort the witness out of the Chamber.

I will ask the Minister of Finance if he has any witnesses to call to the table.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Minister Ramsay.
