It hasn't been released yet, but there is already concerns being expressed with the proposed Northern Growth plan.
David Lindsay, Northern Development, Mines and Forestry Deputy Minister, says a draft of the economic blueprint for the north should be released by the end of October or early November.
But Lindsay says there is already talk that it will be a grant program for the north which it won't be.
Lindsay says the document should be more about changing attitudes and policies that foster development.
