Madam Speaker, the issue of devolution was discussed in the context of the whole ability of the Northwest Territories to be as financially independent as possible. I did bring to the Prime Minister's attention, and to his advisors, that there was a commitment by the Prime Minister of Canada, and also that we were having some difficulties in dealing with the future of the Northwest Territories in a global sense because the system often doesn't give us the opportunity to make a statement to the decision-makers on what is a package. Also that we want to see that arranged as soon as possible, because one area of the financial arrangement of the formula can't be dealt with in isolation of another responsibility or opportunities for revenue generation such as non-renewable resources, and it can't be dealt with in isolation of the decisions that have also been established under agreements of the aboriginal organizations.

So the commitment is made that, as soon as possible -- I believe a week from Thursday -- a series of meetings will be set up with Mr. Irwin and the Minister of Finance, Mr. Paul Martin. And then, finally, a meeting with the Prime Minister to work through the issue of the Northwest Territories and its future, and a timetable so that we can be self-sufficient, Madam Speaker. Thank you.
