Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources. For several years now, I have been pursuing the issue of the development of a northern accord strategy, or a northern accord agreement, between the federal government and the territorial government. It's also a very big issue and has impact on land claim agreements. It's one of the outstanding issues in the Gwich'in agreement. Earlier today, the Premier mentioned that this issue was discussed with the federal Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs. Can the Minister advise this House as to the status of a northern accord agreement?
