Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Aside from the need for policy, which I think we can arrive at in the future in partnership with aboriginal governments, we also need the support of the Government of Canada. Our government worked very hard in the last month and a half to get the federal government to notice and pay attention to this emerging, beautiful vision that we started talking about. I must say that we are happy to say again, that we have captured the attention and the interest of the Prime Minister and he has no difficulty in talking enthusiastically about the same type of vision that we have laid out here.
The Finance Minister, Paul Martin, was also, putting it mildly, captivated by the vision we spoke of in our first meeting with him. Mr. Nault is dealing with us in the same way, very eager to move on discussions on devolution and revenue sharing, setting up the inter-governmental forum, trying to move the northern agenda along. Do something real, is the language that he uses.
We have arranged a meeting with the Prime Minister for next week. There is a commitment to meet on Tuesday, so we will have the opportunity to elaborate formally for the first time with the Prime Minister, what exactly it is that we seek, and what it is that we need in terms of support from the federal government in order to make this vision, this dream, a reality in very short order. Thank you.
