Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am glad to hear the Premier say that, that he does look at priorities. Is the Premier prepared to look at what Members’ priorities are as far as name change is concerned, what their views are on that and relate those views to the Senator? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sibbeston has taken an approach to this issue that I have a lot of questions about and I would like to ask our Premier some questions during question period as to where our government stands on this issue seeing that, in my opinion, we have some much bigger fish to fry. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yesterday, while we were grinding away in this House, with our lean, mean Minister of Health and Social Services -- listening to how he was going to meet the needs of the people of the Northwest Territories on what he was referring to as a shoestring budget of $250 million -- exciting things were happening in Ottawa. The federal Finance Minister was delivering the first sound financial management federal budget under Paul Martin. Although I didn’t get to listen to the budget address, I did take time last night to read through it. I don’t know if this...

Thank you, Madam Chair. When you put out a figure of 620 and 872 for enrolments in community high schools, it would probably be easier to ask which ones are not included in this figure. Yellowknife wouldn't be for sure and probably not Hay River. What schools wouldn't be involved in this figure? It would probably be far less than are not involved than what would be involved. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Pokiak. Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Pokiak. Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. I didn’t hear too many questions. Did you want to respond Mr. Dent?

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, on that line, when we say we are going to review our tax effort, they are giving us one year off and giving us time to review it or they are willing to look at it. If they decide to readjust that what can we expect? Would it be $50 million a year if they decided to do away with the tax effort and if it did, what are the possibilities that these new revenues could maybe replace some of the reductions that the Minister has talked about for the next following two years, the $20 million each year for the next two years? Could that affect those reductions?...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Basically, the Minister just answered my question. I was wondering why community museums appear on page 9-19 and also on page 9-21. What separates that funding?
