Thank you, Mr. Speaker. At present, our capable staff in Intergovernmental Affairs is working with other provincial jurisdictions and developing an agenda for the 1998 Western Premiers' Conference. Hopefully that work will be done in the next couple of weeks. We are organizing it now. We have hired Darlene Mandeville to organize the whole event. We have also contacted a prominent northern business person to raise money for the Western Premiers' Conference as well, Mr. Jack Walker. My understanding is he will be contacting the private sector to raise money to sponsor events and things like that. We are planning to have a barbecue and a cultural evening. My wife will also be hosting an aboriginal fashion show for the Premiers' wives. The Premiers' wives will also be flying to a traditional Dene-Metis community for a few hours. There will also be a reception. When the conference is over, we will be taking the Premiers to Plummer's Fishing Lodge on Great Slave Lake for two days of northern enjoyment of fishing.
Thank you.
