Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Finance. It is with regard to the issue of the northern accord. There are Members in this House who are really pushing to have this northern accord concluded by May or June. I have some concerns about that. The northern accord is supposed to generate revenue for this government. Yesterday, the Government Leader stated that she told the mining conference that it is going to generate money to Education, Health and Social Services, et cetera. In the research I am doing, the present regime won't really generate that much money to any government. What is the percentage of royalties the federal government gets from all the oil, gas and mineral activity that is going on in the Northwest Territories today? Thank you.
