Mr. Chairman, I had a couple of questions about the sessional statement that the Premier made. Perhaps the House Leader can answer them because they relate to fiscal issues as well. In the Premier's sessional statement, he says, "Within the next decade, the Northwest Territories will be paying more into federal coffers than it receives." I was wondering if we could get an explanation for that comment, just in terms of how the Northwest Territories will pay more into federal coffers than what it receives back.
