Thank you, Madam Chair. I wanted to ask the Premier a little bit about the work that the territorial government is going to be working on or doing with the federal government in terms of developing this northern strategy and we can go back a lot of years, Madam Chair, to even the 12th Assembly, the 13th Assembly when they had the road map. In 1998, the Premier at the time said in this House from Hansard in 1998 that the federal government has committed to working with the Yukon and Northwest Territories in developing an economic development strategy. Where is the EDA? It's six years later, Madam Chair, and we still do not have an EDA and we're in desperate need of one. My big concern is and my colleagues here know that I'm sceptical of what Ottawa has to say and what Ottawa is doing, but my big fear in this is again they are putting us into this strategy and developing a strategy.

Madam Chairperson, this takes time, effort, money and I hate to think that we're going to be spinning our wheels for another six years, another 10 years. Where do we draw the line with Ottawa in terms of getting us where we need to be in terms of resource revenue sharing and devolution? We have to have a timeline, Madam Chairperson. This can't go on forever and I'd like to ask the Premier today what is this northern strategy, the forward looking? We've been looking at a strategy here for a number of years. Can the Premier please tell us how we are going to work with the federal government to develop this northern strategy? What's going to be in this strategy, Madam Chair, that's any different than all the other reports, all the other studies that led us to where we are at today? What's going to be different, Madam Chair? Thank you.
