Mr. Speaker, it is true we met with the Minister this morning. We have informed her of this multiparty cooperative approach we have taken to dealing with the developments of mining in Yellowknife and other parts of the territories. Of course she did not need to be reminded that the federal government collects the royalties, the benefits from mining developments in the north; that she is responsible for lands and resources in the Northwest Territories and as such has some obligation to look at ways in which you could assist in making sure that mining continues and that jobs are not lost because of fluctuating world prices of minerals, particularly gold and that exploration work, the cost of exploration particularly, is very high in the Northwest Territories and that for her contribution in this multiparty initiative she should look at ways in which she could help abstract mines that are currently in production to find the means, perhaps through assistance from the federal government to continue their exploration programs, so that they are not viable for just another two or three years, but further than that, so it makes it worthwhile for the rest of us to continue trying to find ways to make sure they remain operational and viable on the short term. Thank you.
