Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I haven't seen -- and again, I have been here for two years now -- any evidence that we are any closer to a resource revenue agreement today than we were five years ago. It's the same thing with devolution. I think we are on the back burner in Ottawa. I think the $500 million socioeconomic money is a smokescreen from Ottawa to cloud everybody's judgement and to put devolution and resource revenue on the back burner where they think it belongs. I don't think we have done enough on that, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask the Premier if he has had any discussion with the other two northern Premiers on the notion of scrapping the GST. That alone, Mr. Speaker, would put $3,000 to $4,000 back into the pockets of every northerner. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
