Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The territories, Yukon, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories, have been without an economic development agreement for a number of years now. We have been consistently, on an annual basis, soliciting support from one another, as well as from other Premiers, to pressure the federal government into providing an economic development program for the northern territories. We have not been successful to date, but the Minister for Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development and his officials have been working in coordination with my own officials to continue conveying that message to the federal government. We will continue to do that. Thank you.
