Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The process that we outlayed in the Connecting Canada: Coast to Coast to Coast is a very good initiative. It was based on opening up... Well, based an opening concept up to the oil and gas reserves up in our Far North. That is something that the government was looking at seriously. It has some certainty that there is a project here. They will consider it more and more seriously, but right now what had occurred with our Connecting Canada: Coast to Coast to Coast, we did get support from our Premiers across Canada. But there was a federal election and the government had changed hands just after we developed that proposal for the Transportation Minister at that time. As to why, and I know the Member has been pressing resource revenue sharing that our North is rightfully entitled to, and he is going to get no disagreement from this side of the House, but that is something that we have to continue to press with the federal Minister and the federal government. Mahsi cho.
