Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I should clarify. The honourable Member is correct, it is a northern accord; oil and gas/minerals. As I said yesterday, my optimistic side is if we can reach an arrangement with the aboriginal groups by the end of May in which they assist us in the development of the accord and the language of the accord, then I'm optimistic with the commitment that has been given by Mr. Irwin, Minister of Indian Affairs, and the priorities being placed on this initiative by both the Premier and our illustrious Finance Minister, that we should be in a position to conclude an accord that is reflective of the majority of people in the territories. I'm certainly optimistic we can achieve that.

However, in all fairness, I think it's contingent upon, to some extent, the ability of all of us who are meeting to reach an arrangement on the accord, to work with each other in an effort to reach a compromise position. Thank you.
