Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The federal government is providing two thirds of the funding and we are providing a third. We are one of three parties involved in this process. The agenda is emerging at length on very specific things such as the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline, revenue sharing, and devolution. Three issues that are of fundamental importance to this government, and to the public of the Northwest Territories. So there are no rights per se at the table here. It is in large part the agenda is items that will impact on the self-sufficiency and the economy of the Northwest Territories. So it is in our interest to support such a forum, and to make sure it is adequately resourced. Thank you.
