Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Let me say to the honourable Member up front that the mineral accord is a priority of this Cabinet, of the Premier and myself, as the Minister responsible. We are endeavouring, through consultation with the aboriginal groups, to try -- and I stress "try" -- to reach a consensus as to what should be included in the accord. There are two meetings that have taken place. Everybody has come to the table and stated their opinions. In an ideal world, I would like to think we can conclude an accord prior to the call for a new election. Whether, in fact, we will is a difficult question to answer at this time. Thank you.
