Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources. It is with regard to the mining accord. Mr. Speaker, it's my belief that if we don't get a mining accord before the next election, there will not be a mining accord. We will be in the division mode. The federal government, by that time, will be looking very greedily at whatever revenues will come out of mines. So one chance, I think, to provide self-sufficiency in the Northwest Territories is to get a mining accord. My question to the Minister is, when does he expect the negotiations for a mining accord to be concluded?
