Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, the Norman Wells oilfield issue of where the royalties are going to be paid, whether they should be paid at all and so on, how we treat the federal ownership, is one of the six issues that are outstanding. Mr. Speaker, I won't get into all of them, but in the last meeting of the leaders I outlined that we, as a territorial government, wanted to come to an agreement with the federal government. The aboriginal leaders' negotiator in the summer of 2005 had said this is not an issue for the aboriginal leaders, it's only between the GNWT and the federal government, but they were ready to initial off on a draft devolution agreement. We said we weren't until this was settled, and I believe the aboriginal leaders understand our position and, in fact, agree with us because this some day could be part of their resource revenues as they take over self-government. But, Mr. Speaker, it's one of the issues I want to talk to aboriginal leaders about, following the November 9th meeting.
I've also written a letter to Minister Prentice saying let's start devolution by resolving these six issues. The Secretary to Cabinet has also written to Harvie Andre with the same message. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
