Mr. Chairman, the federal government has been more accessible to our government than I have seen and any other government in recent times. They have done a number of things. The most significant so far in terms of getting us new money is the changes to our fiscal formula, but also the Northern Strategy where the Prime Minister has committed to a more strategic view of the North, the commitment to provide us with $40 million. That money, I understand from our Member of Parliament, is coming to us in June. So there is a $40 million commitment there.

On the other area that I don't know if I want to say the government is not interested, but I know they are preoccupied with basic survival in Ottawa. So it has been difficult to get meetings. The actions that Imperial took did serve as a wakeup call for the federal government, and did cause them to move into action pretty quickly. Now it seems that there are delays that I'd sooner not have in getting their attention. Mr. Chairman, I might also say that as we speak there are aboriginal leaders from the Northwest Territories in Ottawa, and they are also doing their part to keep the government focused on this and I've been talking with those who are in Ottawa. I spoke to two of them this morning. So we'll continue our effort. I think the federal government is trying, but, as I say, they're preoccupied with other things. They are certainly making the commitments, it's following through with final agreements that we need to achieve. Thank you.
