Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yes, we have done a lot of work in the past months in negotiating with the federal government on the non-renewable resource development strategy, as well as with CHST funding and other areas. Even though we have been asking for a large amount of money for investment in the North, we have been successful in a number of areas. I am pleased to say that the federal government has provided money to us, or agreed to provide money to us in the areas such as the CHST. They have done the same across Canada.

In the area of non-renewable resource development, again we have had a lot of discussion, we have had a lot of positive signals and I am optimistic that this is going to be a successful overture to the federal government. Thank you.
