Well, let me say at the outset, Mr. Speaker, that I do recognize and appreciate my colleague's questions. I recognize the unease that is out there, particularly when you consider some of the difficult decisions we have had to make in the last 18 months. It is a difficult time. People are a little bit uneasy, whether you are living in Yellowknife or Grise Fiord. There is the same unease out there. We need to bring some stability to this issue, some confidence to the issue, some equity and fairness to the way we approach it. That is what we are trying to accomplish here. Contrary to some out there, that is what we are trying to accomplish. Fairness, equity, calm, orderly, this is the way in which we have to approach this formula arrangement.
I am not sure when we will get the kind of clarity necessary to be clear to my colleague about whether the federal government is prepared to accept the principles about how we would like to approach formula financing. Certainly, from a northern perspective, I will repeat that there is a common understanding that it is the approach we should take. I appreciate my colleague saying he concurs with that. As soon as we get some clarity on the federal government side, I will advise this House and committees. In the meantime, we know there is an election which closes on June 2nd. I cannot predict how that election is going to unfold. I will tell you that the Cabinet is preparing a 30, 60 and 90 day strategy as it relates to our relationship with the new federal government, whoever they may be. The priority in terms of the strategy is the two new formulas necessary to bring this whole division issue to rest and to get some clarity, as I said earlier, on the approach we wish to take with respect to fairness, equity and the fact that we are going to divide the territories, and have two new formulas, not one divided up. Thank you.
