Mr. Speaker, I think I can safely say that right now, we have agreement-in-principle verbally on resource revenue sharing. The federal Minister and the Prime Minister both hold the same position that I do: the North should be the primary beneficiary of resource revenues. Mr. Speaker, as a minority government, there is always a question mark on the life of the government, whether it will last a full term or not. There is that kind of uncertainty. Mr. Speaker, I think the federal Prime Minister and Minister are aware of it and are willing to work with us on it. As I said earlier, Mr. Speaker, the Minister of DIAND has committed to coming to the Northwest Territories in March to have further discussions on this and other matters. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
