It just so happens that this committee is doing an affordability study in the north about food affordability, housing and other things. Key to affordability is having economic development or jobs that come around, so even if that food is a bit more expensive—as we know it is in the territories, especially the further you get out of Yellowknife—at least you have an opportunity to have a wage that helps pay for that extra cost of milk and other foods.
Maybe you can explain how much previous economic development has meant to the community in the past, and even speak to some of those opportunities. You spoke in a general sense, but are companies lining up to talk to you about how, once this agreement is signed, they're ready to go on the other side?
Affordability and jobs are key, but maybe there are some key industries that are knocking at your door, even now.
