Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in my opening Member's statement I quoted the Premier talking about six to 12 months, very critical for people of the Northwest Territories. Mr. Speaker, it's well known in the House as the Northwest Territories that the North is leaving a lot of millions of dollars in Ottawa's pocket and staying on not leaving enough in the Northwest Territories. I want to ask the Premier what plans are in place in determining that Canada will give a fair deal to the people of the Northwest Territories so we won't have to keep going back to a kid's constituency and we say we're broke, we have no money and our lives are in shambles, buildings are down, and, you know, we keep coming back here saying we're broke. What plans are in place in terms of gathering, assembling some people in the Northwest Territories to get Ottawa here to say enough is enough, give us what is rightfully ours? What plans are in place for the North? Thank you.
