Mr. Speaker, my department has not been the main negotiating department with the federal government on the transfer of resources to the Territories. I believe the Premier and RWED have been more involved in this. However, I believe that these type of arguments have been put forward to the federal government. We do not really have any positive responses to this, neither denials nor responses. In fact, they are in favour of transferring responsibility of resources to this government. It would include then, of course, the benefits. However, they keep telling us, if I understand correctly, that it has to be in cooperation with the aboriginal groups that this is going to be done, the sharing of resources. I do not know if I am responding to the Member's question as you would like, but that is my understanding.
