Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as this has unfolded, and I have committed to Members in this House, we will go back and look at what has occurred and where we strengthen our position as the Government of the Northwest Territories. For me, and this government, the 15th Assembly, it's difficult to go back to when the original agreements were put in place, to what caused the government-of-the-day to decide that was the best agreement that could be put in place and the MOU that followed. Unfortunately, as will the next government, they will have to live with some of our decisions we make today. Now we have to go back -- and that's why I said the timing is good for us -- so we can go back now, look at

these agreements and see what we need to do to strengthen our position as a government to make sure that we, as residents of the Northwest Territories, benefit from the development of non-renewable resources within our territory. Thank you.
