Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, one of the suggestions raised last night is that if the aboriginal leaders from the summit will be available to meet with Cabinet, and maybe with the Members of the Legislative Assembly, to see how we could work together closer. That was one suggestion that was raised. The other one was talking about a joint lobbying effort. As you know, our government and Ministers have been lobbying different Ministers in Ottawa. There is a business group here, a coalition that is also lobbying in Ottawa. I think the Aboriginal Summit leaders, along with members of this government and MLAs that we lobby in Ottawa and southern Canada to bring exposure to what we are doing up here. I think there are some areas where our officials would explore. Officials were told to come out with some options on how to proceed from here. There is talk of doing a joint letter between the Aboriginal Summit and this government to both Manley and Nault, so there are different options that we are already exploring. Thank you.
