Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, some of the things that have been happening this year is the whole question of the inter-provincial trade, and the reduction of trade barriers within Canada. There has been the G.A.T. negotiations in Europe, and there is the new Free Trade Agreement that is being discussed at the present time between Canada, the United States, and Mexico. We have been anxious to see what the impacts of those agreements would be upon us, because as everybody knows, those kinds of organizations may fall by the wayside, and there may be free trade within Canada. So, that is one of the things that is happening at the present time. My understanding is that Mr. Richardson, who is an egg producer in Hay River, has a case at the present time in southern Canada before the courts. I will not comment on the courts, Mr. Speaker, but I will tell you that the Department of Justice for the G.N.W.T. offered to become involved in that case as well, and Mr. Richard's declined our assistance at this time. So, there are two things that are happening right now that we are closely monitoring, Mr. Speaker.
