Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As far as the timeframe goes on completion of the northern accord negotiations, at this time I would not like to put a timeframe on it. I know that, unless we proceed fairly swiftly on this issue, unless we agree as northerners on the general principles of bringing northern resource control into the hands of northerners, we will not be able to do it in the life of this Assembly. We also have a federal government election looming that will affect the timing of this issue. I do not know whether it is going to be a spring election or a fall election. That all reflects on the timing. I would be better able to answer that question with more certainty by June, this spring session. Thank you.
