Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we have to continue to work with the federal government. I do not see any other way. The difficulty for us and the one hurtle we have not been able to get over yet has been to get the federal government's attention and agreement that it is worthwhile to make investments in our people, our infrastructure, our businesses now. That certainly is a frustration after working hard on it for a year to not be able to say that yes, we have them completely onside.

We need to do that though in partnership with the aboriginal leaders. We need them onside as well. I hope we make a lot more progress through the Intergovernmental Forum. There is certainly concern if we continue to see non-renewable resources extracted and very little benefit coming to the Northwest Territories. I think a lot of people are asking that same question of why are we doing this if we are not getting a fair return on the royalties and other benefits from it? I think the aboriginal leaders are probably asking the same question. I certainly have the same question in my mind.

I think we need to talk in this House. We need to look at alternatives before we, as the Member says, all en masse go to Ottawa or some other activity that might be considered to be outrageous. If there is any advice, I am open to it. Thank you.
