Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Minister of Finance in regard to the multilateral agreement on investment. Mr. Speaker, the MAI, as it is known, is a new international economic agreement to negotiate the organization for economic cooperation and development. Mr. Speaker, there are a number of agencies across the country that are against it and have concerns with this new agreement. For example, the Assembly of First Nations passed a resolution demonstrating their concern. There are approximately 560 organizations in 67 countries that have concerns and that will not support this new agreement. Can the Minister provide this House with some information as to what impact he foresees this having on the two new territories? Thank you.
