Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Premier does keep me informed of the current activities on this file and I should say that what we are requesting as a government is for the Legislature to approve the allocation of this file. It is generally intended as what we think we are willing to expend in the coming year on this file, provided we think there is reasonable opportunity to get agreement from the aboriginal organizations to proceed with this file. That is what that allocation is for, to contract individuals to help the government get beyond the stage where we can get an agreement, convene a meeting with aboriginal organizations, and cover the costs of reaching agreement with the aboriginal organizations to pursue a devolution agreement with the federal government. That is what the amount shown would be used for. Thank you.
