Mr. Speaker, I thought I asked a simple question. The Government Leader has said, I think, that we should get the work done and figure out what we want to do before we approach the federal government. What I would like to ask the Minister again, because I don't feel my question was answered, Mr. Speaker, is, given that the federal government has the legal responsibility for labour relations in the Northwest Territories, -- even though I agree it has not done much, it has hardly done anything to meet its responsibilities in the Giant Mine strike, et cetera, but nonetheless it has that legal responsibility -- and not our government -- yet I understand it is proposed to use territorial funds to explore this area -- what efforts were made to either ask the federal government to do this work for us or to at least ask the federal government to pay for the cost of exploring an area that is the statutory and legal responsibility today of the federal government? What efforts were made, Mr. Speaker? Thank you.
