Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In our view, the answer to that question is yes. It also requires consultation with NTI, and that's not happening to the extent that it must and should be happening. From my perspective, there's not only a legal requirement, it just makes good common sense to get everybody involved in a process at the same table. We need the federal government to get back to seeing division more as an opportunity than as a problem. This is the only real example of a positive and a major political change where people are achieving their aspirations within the Canadian Constitution context. If we work effectively together with the federal government, with NTI, with aboriginal groups in the West and other northerners, I believe we can shine on how to solve problems that people in the South are having problems solving and I remain optimistic that we can still make this happen in partnership with NTI and hopefully the federal government. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
