Mr. Speaker, I have written a letter to the Prime Minister on this and explained our concern to him and appealed that he reconsider this. Mr. Speaker, as well, each of the Ministers whose mandate the various programs that have been cut fall within have also written letters. I have talked to other Premiers as well and in fact the chair of the Council of the Federation of all the Premiers across the country had a discussion, had a teleconference this morning and we have agreed to do a letter on behalf of all the Premiers saying this is something that impacts every jurisdiction, not just the Northwest Territories but all of us, and we're concerned about it. We're asking him to look at this again. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
