Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, my question is to the Minister of Finance. I have just received a press release from the Government of Canada announcing the signing of the formula financing implementation agreement for 1994-95. It states, in the voice of Mr. Irwin, the federal Minister responsible, that "formula financing has been instrumental in the evolution of responsible and accountable government in the north, and it will continue to provide stable funding to the territorial government."
The response doesn't say how long this stable funding will continue, Madam Speaker, but I suspect that it refers to the fiscal year 1994-95 which only has five months left in it. I would like to ask the Minister of Finance, since we all hope that stable funding continues, when will we know the funding levels from the Government of Canada to the Northwest Territories for the coming fiscal year, 1995-96? Thank you.
