Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'm going to rise with a question in regard to what I talked about earlier in my Member's statement, Mr. Speaker, which is the Quebec deal on parental leave and their ability and control over that program. Mr. Speaker, the federal government has basically kicked the discussion door wide open and said come talk to us, and I believe Quebec has their priorities in line with their people. I think we need to ensure that, as well, in a meaningful way. I think this government needs to make tracks to ensure we do have those priorities in line with the people. So, Mr. Speaker, my question for the Premier of this government is, is he supportive enough that we will engage in a discussion with our federal counterparts to take upon this opportunity to see if we can implement parental leave in a fair way in the Northwest Territories, such as Quebec has been fighting for since the '80s? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
