Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have not had opportunity to speak with all the aboriginal leaders. I will have a meeting with the regional leaders on February 9th, but I have talked to many of them and all the people that I have talked to recognize that Canada has voted in a new party as a government. The North has voted in a new Member of Parliament, and everybody is going to work positively to achieve what we can. We have many common agenda items right now and I have no doubt, as we discuss this further with aboriginal leaders, that they're going to approach this very positively, in spite of comments that may have been made earlier on. We all want to move forward on the pipeline, on continuing that strong economy, on self-government, on devolution and so on. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
