Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, I will raise that issue. I am leaving for Ottawa tomorrow morning. I have a meeting on...Sorry; I'm leaving on Saturday morning. Correction. I have a meeting with the Prime Minister, with Minister Blondin-Andrew, Minister Scott and others at 11:00 on Sunday to begin the discussions and I will raise this issue again for sure. Mr. Speaker, I don't have an up-to-date number on resource revenues that we're losing right now, but I can tell you that in the 2002-03 public accounts showed that DIAND's Northern Affairs program collected $38.7 million in mining and oil and gas royalties and that was before prices had gone up and there's been an increase in mining activity and an increase in oil activity since. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
