Mr. Chairman, we have two things we are doing. One is negotiating resource revenues from the federal government. If we can get the resource revenues to the North, then it would be up to us and aboriginal governments to negotiate a sharing of that. At the same time, we would then negotiate what the priorities would be for that new money. That is basically the work that we are talking about, both revenues and also the expenditures, how you spend that money. I think that has to be a joint decision between aboriginal governments and us.

I know the Minister of Transportation has been meeting regularly with Minister Collenette, the federal Minister, on a highway strategy and looking at any dollars that might be available. My understanding is that there is not a lot of optimism for any amount of new dollars for building new roads in the North at this time. The economic development agreement I referred to earlier, in the amounts I understand it would be in, would be much too small to make any meaningful difference at all.

There are no particular strategies I know of for that kind of investment. Thank you.
