Thank you. We have a major problem in Ottawa. I've been down there personally a number of times in my role as Minister and supporting the Premier and the Finance Minister in trying to talk to key Ministers, including the Finance Minister, Energy Minister and DIAND. We get the run around of DIAND being the Minister responsible for the whole North, everything including economic development, the resource development and human resource development. If you go to Ottawa, like the member says, we get shuffled around. We're also told that we should be seeking these funds from existing resources, which as you know are very tight up here. Yes, it is the case. It's very frustrating. Thank you.
