Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Let me say that, first of all, there are a lot of good, strong statements made today about needing to work together as northerners. That's one. I can tell you that at my informational meeting with National Chief Bill Erasmus this week that that was the same discussion of the Dene Nation meeting in Fort Good Hope earlier. So working together is absolutely important. Aboriginal leaders have to work together and we have to work together with aboriginal leaders as northern leaders. So that's number one.
Mr. Speaker, a second one is we have to agree on an agenda of how we're going to move forward from where we are now, from the commitments that the Prime Minister has made, commitments Minister Prentice has made, the appeals we have made to them including letters this week to move this forward.
Basically I would say in answer to the question, partnerships working together as northerners, how do we get northern leaders working together with us? Second is how do we get the federal government's attention? That goes from the Prime Minister to the Minister of DIAND would be my two top things that I believe we need to work on. Thank you.
