Mr. Speaker, on the economic development agreement, that point is raised constantly by the different Members of the Cabinet in their different roles and portfolios. Most recently, I was in Iqaluit attending a northern development Ministers' meeting along with the Ministers from the other two territories and northern Ministers and there we raised the issue of that and it seems to fall on deaf ears in Ottawa. We're working with our Member of Parliament at this time to try to get that issue moved forward, but at this point in time there's absolutely nothing of that sort, no indication at all from the federal government to fund us. Thank you.
