Thank you, Madam Chair. Thanks to the Premier for his reply and to Mr. McLeod. I didn't think the two were linked together. I'm glad the Premier explained that to me because devolution, as far as my understanding, would take a little longer, but the point I'm trying to make is that the resource revenue sharing deal is something that we need to push. I understand the devolution talks would be a little slower, but, as the Premier stated, we have money leaving the territory every day and still we continue to negotiate. I mean, I'd kind of like to know as a last point in question is where are these negotiations at? Are we negotiating right now? We've been hearing talk of negotiating for an awful long time and talk and talk, and I'm not sure how much talk back and forth there should be. But it should, as far as I'm concerned, be a fairly simple process. Our resources, you pay us the royalties and I'm of the opinion that it's time we started seeing some results. I'd like to know from the Premier, are the negotiations ongoing even with the changes in the government? Have they always been ongoing, or is it something that's negotiated between the Premier and the Prime Minister in power at the moment and the Prime Minister previous? So that's what I would like to know, is if the Premier himself is negotiating on our behalf with the Prime Ministers of the country, or is it negotiations that have been taking place behind closed door?

I am glad that the Premier mentioned the two, the devolution and the resource revenue sharing, and I'd never linked the two. I always thought that we've got to get the resource revenue sharing part on the go, like, quickly because it is starting to be something that concerns me a great deal to have all the money leaving the NWT all the time. So there's, I believe, a couple of

questions in there for Premier Handley. Thank you, Madam Chair.
