Madam Chair, there are two parallel processes moving here. One is devolution and the other is resource revenue sharing. The devolution is the transfer of responsibility and authority for those province-like responsibilities that the federal government, through DIAND, currently hold. Just on devolution itself, we're not that far apart. There are five outstanding items and they are all negotiable. We have a small staff who are responsible for doing the background work on the negotiation of those, and I'll ask Mr. McLeod in a minute to explain what they do, but we also have a lead negotiator, a fellow by the name of Hal Gerein who leads our negotiations; that's devolution.

On resource revenue sharing, Madam Chair, that's a separate process. It's linked together, but we could negotiate resource revenue sharing without necessarily taking on all the trappings of a province. So, Madam Chair, I have the same concern that the Member does, that there's a lot of money leaking out in the form of non-renewable resource revenues from this territory everyday and we're losing it. So we need to move ahead, in my view, quickly on resource revenue sharing as the first, most urgent requirement. Madam Chair, I have proposed to the federal government that we move quickly on that one, that we not necessarily have to wait for devolution in order to have our share of resource revenues. I would not want to take devolution without resource revenues, but I could take resource revenues without devolution. So, Madam Chair, we are moving quickly, as quickly as we can. I don't want to get into all the detail of where we're at, but I can say that the Prime Minister and the Minister at DIAND are very much on the same page, in my view, as we are at this time. I hope to see some progress fairly quickly on the resource revenue sharing side. Madam Chair, I'll ask Bob McLeod just to explain how many people are in the devolution section and what their roles are. Thank you.
