Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to hear that the Premier still feels encouraged by the signals that we receive from Ottawa. I think the Premier is well aware of the fact that I don't feel as encouraged and I don't feel as confident and I need to see some concrete evidence of their support for our agenda.

On the subject of leadership again, Mr. Speaker, I don't want to see us lose anything by default. Again, a Member today referred to the divide-and-conquer approach. When the Premier goes to Ottawa I think very clearly, from today and from other communications, he will know the feelings of the elected leaders in this House. But as we all know, when we're talking to Ottawa, we're talking about the Northwest Territories. We are not the only elected leaders. So if not the Premier, then who has the ability or authority or the mandate to rally the troops, to get the aboriginal leadership together so that we have a unified voice in Ottawa? Does the Premier feel that, when he travels to Ottawa to speak to the Ministers and the Prime Minister and the various leaders, he can speak with the voice of not only the leaders in this House, but also the aboriginal leaders? Thank you.
