Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the economic development agreement type of arrangement with the federal government where we require additional dollars to help develop the North and develop our economy has always been a big concern to us. We've put forward a number of submissions to the different federal departments, most recently to the Minister of Industry, Alan Rock, who has indicated that he doesn't see any regions in the country being treated unfairly. But as we all know, we are in the North. So our task here, as a government, is to continue to try to impress the federal government that there is definitely a need to have federal dollars invested to help us develop our economy in the North. Thank you.
