Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Finance, Mr. Roland, and they continue from the information we heard this afternoon on our budget. Mr. Speaker, the area that I would like to explore a little bit relates to our formula financing arrangement with the federal government. We are a billion dollar government. According to the document released this afternoon, almost three-quarters of that, or about $725 million, will come from Ottawa through the formula financing deal, Mr. Speaker.
Now, this has caused us problems in the past and, through the Department of Finance in Ottawa, there is an agreement now to renegotiate this whole arrangement. The Minister told us, in the budget address, of a panel that has been struck, Mr. Speaker, to set new terms and renegotiate this. I think that is what I would like to frame up a question on here, Mr. Speaker. Could the Minister offer us some explanation of how this new panel is going to affect the future financing in the Northwest Territories? If I could put it down to a relatively straightforward question, are we going to come out ahead with this new approach to our financing deal? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
