Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the sustainability we have moved forward is something we have to deal with as a government, and have to deal with it within our existing envelope. There are ongoing discussions and will be ongoing discussions with the federal government around the adequacies of our formula tax effort, re-establishing our base. There are also discussions about royalty revenue sharing. That is an important picture, it is an important item, but right now as our strategy is laid out that is outside of what we can

count on for funds in the Northwest Territories. We see it as definitely an asset.

If we can get a fair royal revenue sharing deal with Ottawa, then we can start dealing with our own issues and enhance our programs. Right now, operating with what we have as a budget, we don't have enough, and the numbers that are laid out now are built into our budget, built in for years forward, and we still don't have enough, we are still going to have some deficits going forward. So we have to deal with our structural problem. That is why our reduction scenarios are there for the future years of $20 million and $20 million, and our increased revenues. As we set out our fiscal strategy when we first got together in December we needed, just to get to our position of a $50 million deficit, we were counting on $10 million of our own source revenues, $10 million in reductions, and $30 million from the federal government. Through the process, the federal government hasn't put $30 million into the basket. So we were planning on coming back with a negative supp to just maintain what we put forward as a plan, another $10 million negative. With what has happened now in the formula, this $50 million break that we have means that we won't have to come back with a negative supp, we will have a balanced budget, but our ongoing structural problem remains. We still are spending more money than we have in revenues, and right now, as I stated in my budget address, if we could see revenue flowing by 2007 that would be very optimistic. Thank you.
