That's a problem. It creates dependence. It creates, I would say, a Dutch disease. The public sector is absorbing all the talent and money, rather than the private sector.
The other bright spot would be mining. For example, that one iron mine is 25% of Nunavut's GDP. The diamond sector in the Northwest Territories is 25% of its GDP, and we know the diamond sector is closing. It's reaching the end of its lifespan. By 2030, probably, there will be no more diamond mining, and we need to start thinking about how we are going to replace it.
I'll tie it back to my original statement: It is consultants who are doing some of the work on this. I don't know of any other academic who has thought about the GDP of these territories and how you would get more mining out, and what the policies and regulations would be. There is no academic attention paid to this fundamental problem for the territories.
