Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The formula financing arrangement, in itself, will be one area where there is an acknowledgement by the Prime Minister that there are unique fiscal challenges in the North and the federal government has indicated they are prepared to address that through a process of engaging their officials with ours. So that's one area where that will be addressed. The other is just in the many other programs and funding arrangements that the federal government takes up that's outside of the formula where very often the territories are not treated fairly. The Prime Minister, again, has indicated that area will be addressed as well. So how the process will begin and how it will be described, we will need a few days to address that. We are sure the officials will get that clarified and once that's done, we will provide the details to the House. Thank you.
