Mr. Speaker, I also agree that if we're going to have a northern strategy then we have to have the people who are involved in the northern strategy come to the North and have meetings here, sit down with us as a Caucus and sit down with other northern leaders. I did speak to our MP, the Minister of Northern Development, today and we did have some general discussion about when she might be available to come to the North. I did not ask her specifically about some of the other Ministers, Minister Scott or Minister Efford, but I know that she is working on some agendas and she has told me that as soon as she can confirm some dates then she would like to come and meet with us, along with some of the other main federal Ministers who are involved on this file. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
