Thank you, Madam Speaker. The Minister has indicated that he wants to support the Constitutional Development Steering Committee process as the one visible and viable process here in the western territory for trying to get all aboriginal people and non-aboriginal people to work together to articulate what their political and constitutional vision is for the future of the western territory. In that respect, he has finally indicated he is prepared to talk in terms of dollars, and in terms of support by way of defining statements of what is and what is not acceptable with regard to political and constitutional development in the western territory.

There is no specific dollar terms that have been articulated. Hopefully, that will be done in the next few days. We have had some discussions with his staff to try to refine a budget and a process that would be acceptable to the Minister. We hope to finalize that this week. Thank you.
