Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, we did receive roughly $3.7 million from the federal government through DIAND for bridge construction all along the Mackenzie winter road. Since that time we have had a meeting. Mr. Kakfwi and myself met with Minister Nault. We have had several discussions with him. The Premier has had a meeting with the Prime Minister. I am meeting with the Minister of Finance on, I believe, March 4th, so we are continuing negotiations.

The approach from the federal government to date has been that they would not be writing us a cheque for the whole amount that we have asked for under the Non-Renewable Resource Strategy, but they would be looking favourably at various priorities that we negotiate with them.

Our priorities tend to be pretty much in all of the areas, largely on people and infrastructure, and we will continue to work with the federal Ministers to ensure that we get more than that first down payment. Thank you.
