Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Premier.

Regarding the economic strategy that has been put forth, and also the efforts of this government to consider looking at resources for this government which are presently held by the federal government. My question to the Minister is, presently there is a Northern Accord in place to deal with the transfer of the human resource sector from the federal government to this government where it has to be negotiated. Is the government contemplating avoiding that process all together and going directly to the federal government to negotiate the transfer of resources to this government?
