Anything of this nature is a collaborated effort, Mr. Speaker. Certainly, I said today and in earlier
interviews, I want to applaud both of our MPs, Ms. Ethel Blondin-Andrew and Ms. Nancy Karetak-Lindell. I know the Premier and Mr. Kakfwi have been strong advocates of trying to find another economic agreement that would bring some cost sharing between this government and the federal government on economic activity. As I said earlier, the statement which I will provide to my colleague, in the back-up detail of the budget, indicates the economy of the Northwest Territories is changing dramatically. It requires a new partnership and makes specific reference not only to diamonds but to the nonrenewable resource and the renewable resource and indicates in several lines the federal government is prepared to sit down with the territorial government in seeking a new partnership. The Premier, in his discussions with his federal counterparts, has been encouraging that over the last little while. There was some discussion with respect to the other provincial jurisdiction seeking its support when the Premier was on the Team Canada trip recently. I am optimistic that between Mr. Kakfwi, the Premier's efforts and whatever efforts I can contribute to this issue that we will be able to move in partnership with the federal government on some new economic initiative. I am sure Mr. Kakfwi and others will be prepared to share that with this House and with the territories as a whole, once the detail unfolds in the coming days. Thank you.
