I just have a very short remark to add to the...Not a remark really, I have some questions for the Premier on both resource revenue sharing devolution and this Mackenzie Valley pipeline issue. I know that the government and the Premier and many leaders from the North are trying to bring this together and trying to get a resolution. I have to tell you, Mr. Chairman, when I heard about Imperial Oil pulling out their work for now, or slowing down the work, at first I, like everyone else, was quite alarmed. But I started seeing opportunities for this. I thought an impetus that could give more urgency to this and force the partners to all come together and try to resolve this, all parties including the Deh Cho leadership and their negotiating policies to be worked out. I believe that when human minds, human interests and human desires all converge together, it could be the right moment for a good arrangement to be arrived at.

I remain hopeful that that announcement would be continued to be used as an impetus for this to be resolved. I am thinking, or assuming, that there are a lot of people working hard to get there, not only in the government and in the aboriginal leadership in the North and the business leadership, but business interests around the country and around the world.

Since then we have heard many deals being made by the federal government with various provinces on various files. Over the last few months, the federal minority government has worked out an arrangement for Newfoundland/Labrador. Prime Minister Martin sat in a room for eight hours and worked out some sort of financing arrangement with Premier McGuinty of Ontario. There are slews of announcements being made on early childhood development. I am wondering if the Premier in any of his interactions with the federal government and whether Prime Minister Martin or Deputy Minister McLellan...What do we do to force all the parties, not force, but create and environment where we could...I just think that if Prime Minister Martin could get all the parties together, or if he had the desire to...I think he is one who has shown with his years of business experience, he could, I think, bring all the parties together and work out a deal after eight hours. I don't know if I am totally out in left field on this, but I think if given all the interest and desires...I do believe that everybody in the Territories wants a deal; it is a question of what kind of deal and how it works for them.

In his conversations with the Prime Minister and any of the leaders at the federal level, has any suggestion like that been made or does he see something like that happening? I think I am speaking mostly for the Mackenzie Valley pipeline, but even with resource revenue sharing and devolution. All of us sitting here -- I don't know what it is like for the new Members of this Assembly -- for six years we have been talking about getting close to a deal and still not seeing the results of it. I am wondering if I can ask the Premier that. Thank you.
