Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we have discussed the $500 million that the federal government took out of the Northwest Territories in oil and gas lease money for exploration this year. Half of that would solve our Non-Renewable Resource Strategy problems. I am wondering if this Minister has ever approached the federal government and said, "Instead of you building the roads, give us the money from the oil and gas leases", Mr. Speaker? Has he ever tried that tactic?
