Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am surprised to hear about the negotiations, Mr. Chairman. I know it's a very complicated set of negotiations. I think that's what we want in our communities. What is being done on our behalf? There are also aboriginal land claims agreements being talked about. Sometimes we miss communications and talking with each other on some of the issues. It's really important for this government's leadership to know what's being done on their behalf in terms of looking at the agreements that are coming down. I think people would be very happy to know that we are working on their behalf on some of these really crucial agreements such as resource revenue sharing and devolution, and we are making progress. That's the leadership I would like to see from this government acting on our behalf. Let's let the people know what's going on. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, I think that's good advice, very good advice. We will certainly consider that as we get ready for the general assemblies and for our own trips out to communities where we are meeting with them. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
