As I said in my earlier response to the question, this is a collaborated effort by all Ministers. It has just been coordinated through my department because of the fiscal relationship and how it all ties in at the end of the day to the way in which we get our grants from the federal government. It is important to just remind everybody certainly four percent of the dollars we get come from the federal government at the present time. I do not think that will change significantly with the division of two territories.

It is important just to remind everybody of that and what the intention here is, is to move forward in an aggressive way to coordinate future growth hence the reason why Mr. Antoine is being given dollars and the mandate to move forward on a roads to resources project that has been talked about for years, but it has been done in conjunction with the overall strategy of what we are trying to accomplish with the federal government.

At the same time, we need to be able to back up our arguments. Mr. Dent has been talking to me for weeks regarding the need to improve our success rate for example on employment and training. If dollars were put there, there would be a significant change in the way in which northern people are hired, et cetera. It is a collaborated effort. It is not just a simple re-examination of what we do and I am optimistic that if we are going to look beyond the next election and beyond tomorrow that we can develop a new fiscal relationship with federal government. There is certainly a desire in the power of two key federal ministers Mr. Martin and Ms. Stewart.

I am optimistic that this relationship can enfold, but it can happen without us being able to substantiate why it should happen, and that is what this is all about. I hope at the end of the day, my colleagues along this table will see that.
