Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We certainly will, when we talk with the Prime Minister and Ministers in Ottawa, make the case that all of the North is feeling the impact of our very strong, vibrant economy. We are all feeling it, whether it's Yellowknife or Behchoko, Colville Lake or wherever. We are all feeling that. Mr. Speaker, my preference is not so much to go to Ottawa to ask for some money for socio-economic needs and a little bit of money for transportation and a little bit for the water system. Rather, I would say to the federal government those are all good reasons why we need a share of the resource revenues to stay right here and then we will make or own choices. I think that's a better approach. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
