Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As politicians, you certainly want to get some short-term objectives that can be translated back to your constituents at large. I think Mr. Kakfwi and others will be able to speak to that, I believe later on next week, particularly as it relates to an EDA agreement, et cetera. That is some short-term important gains that we can make on negotiations.

The way I envision the economic strategy, it is a long-term strategy that lets us enter into a new relationship with the federal government that brings about less dependence on transfer payments and gives us an opportunity to benefit from the non-renewable resource growth that is currently taking place in this country. So, for me it is a strategy for not just today, but for tomorrow and future generations. That is why I keep emphasizing it is a new fiscal relationship that we have to develop. That is going to take some time. We need to develop the substantiation for it, the arguments for it and that is what the consultants are doing right now. We need to put in place a political strategy that ensures that we are on the agenda, on the national agenda, which is a difficult one to be with Mr. Martin and Ms. Stewart. We need to have them join us in this important road that we want to go down.

So this is not just a simple re-assessment of the programs that Mr. Kakfwi does or I do or others do, this is the larger issue that relates to new relationship that makes you less dependant and rewards you for the development of new resources out there so you can continue to deliver the programs and services that your constituents have come to expect. To create economic opportunity, new jobs, et cetera. That is the intention of this strategy, as well as a re-examination of what we are currently doing. Thank you.
