Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Northern Premiers’ Forum is something that’s already been finalized. It’s something that the three territories have used very effectively to work together to get momentum from the federal government. I can cite many examples where we’ve worked together on things like Arctic sovereignty, Canada’s Northern House, tourism and so forth. Not only is it a forum that’s used to work together to get concessions from Ottawa, but it’s also used to prepare for meetings of the Western Premiers’ Conference and the Council of the Federation. It’s something that we build on, on a regular basis. The Council of the Federation meets on a semi-annual basis. The Western Premiers’ Conference meets on the same basis. It always helps to have a coordinated voice. Although Yukon already has devolution and Northwest Territories and Nunavut don’t, there are many areas that we can collaborate on and it’s a very important forum.
