Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is well known that other regions of Canada have long-standing agreements with the federal government. I believe there is the Western Economic Diversification Fund for the Prairie Provinces, the Atlantic region has ACOA. I understand that this is something that has been a persistent request on the part of the Territories to the federal government. Can the Minister give us any kind of explanation or perhaps his views on why the federal government is resisting a plea from the North to put together a similar agency? Thank you.
