Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I want to thank the Premier for that as well. I guess I am just not as optimistic as he is, given the federal government is holding all the cards on this. I just can't think of a reason why they would want to be nice to us. It sounds like it could proceed over our objectives anyway. I know you said they don't want to, but the fact is it could. So I think we need to assure northerners how far we are prepared to go to protect the interest of the Northwest Territories in this scenario.
The Premier referred to an interim agreement on resource revenue sharing and also the fact that there was supposed to be a meeting of the Aboriginal Summit this week, but it couldn't take place. Does the Premier then have a clear mandate from our aboriginal partners, our leaders, our grand chiefs, chiefs, to proceed to negotiate an interim agreement with the federal government? Thank you.
