Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I hope it does not come down to the point where we have to become outrageous in order to get the attention of the federal government.
As the Member has pointed out, I heard it this morning as well, that the federal government is doing very well in terms of their overall surpluses. So I hope that helps us.
I think we need to discuss this whole issue more. We have had a strategy, mainly through the Non-Renewable Resource Development Strategy, and as well as an EDA that we are working with.
I think the main thing that we have done differently than previous governments is, through the Intergovernmental Forum, we are trying to work in partnership with the aboriginal leaders as well, to have them onside.
We are also working, and I continue to work every opportunity I have, with business to get them onside. However, I believe, as the Member suggests, it may be necessary to look at other ways of getting attention to the opportunities that are here. Tomorrow when I give my budget address, I intend to highlight that point as well. Thank you.
