Mr. Chairman, an AIP is still possible this spring, and I am still pushing the federal government and the Aboriginal Summit to work with us on achieving that agreement-in-principle this spring. I can tell you though that as the days go by, I'm getting increasingly uneasy that we're not going to be able to achieve it. We have to keep in mind this is a tripartite agreement. There's the Aboriginal Summit, ourselves and the federal government who have to come to agreement. At the negotiating table there's been less progress than what I would have liked to have seen, and I can't blame any one side for that, but we're not moving as quickly on outstanding items.

With the resource revenue sharing AIP in particular, there just have not been the discussions that I wish we had, and I have to say that a lot of that is because of the federal government's preoccupation on other issues that we haven't been able to get the meetings we want. But I am still looking to do that before the federal government recesses, but we'll have to see a more concerted effort if we're going to achieve it. Thank you.
