Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We will certainly continue to do that and I would like to enlist the Member's help and support in that regard. I know as a government, we have been frustrated over the years
trying to get the federal government to live up to their commitment. There's been a lot of discussion in the media over the last few months. The Auditor General made some point of referring to implementation of land claims and the federal responsibility to live up to its commitments. We think this is very important. I would acknowledge that as frustrating as it has been for us as a government, we are at least able to at times get the attention of the federal government. We have access to our Member of Parliament. The people in the communities and on the ground don't, it is more difficult. So at times they would feel they don't get the voice and aren't heard very well, but that's where we, as Members of this Assembly, have to be in tune with the needs and the challenge of our constituents and make sure that their concerns are reflected in this House. I think we can do a lot to give a voice to their concerns. I look forward to working with the Member in this regard to make sure the federal government pays attention.
It's important to recognize, and we can't underline this fact enough, that when we talk about the gas pipeline and we talk about potential benefits, most of the government revenues, in fact our current arrangement, would go to Ottawa. We are talking about projections of course, but our projections are the $21.74 billion. More than 90 percent of these government revenues from oil and gas development projects will go to the federal government under our current regime. Ninety percent of that money will simply flow to Ottawa. We've obviously have to do something about that.
