Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I hope and I pray our Premier is right, that some day...However, the way I read the agreement now or I see us proceeding, I should say, not reading the agreement, is, yes, our resource benefit will increase, but our grant will decrease and still it will be a level playing field, there will be no change. So I can't see that we are proceeding in a direction right now that is what I want as concrete.

Mr. Speaker, the Pembina Institute released a report that was on the radio in August, saying that the federal government who sets the royalties is giving away the territory's oil and gas resources at a low cost. Between 1995 and 2002, on average, only $2.20 per barrel of oil was collected for production in the NWT. Now compare that to $14 per barrel in Norway, $11.50 in Alaska per barrel. I would like to ask the Premier if he could address this issue or has he addressed this issue on the federal government. Are we giving away our resource revenues for nothing? Thank you.
