Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have made that message to the federal government that we cannot continue the way we are. At some point we're going to have to say enough is enough and say that we have to take a firm stance on these things. I did say to Minister Baird that for the sake of $500,000 one-time money, $500,000 ongoing money, this area was identified 10 years ago by then-Minister Sheila Copps as a heritage site. Let's do it. Five hundred thousand dollars is not much for the federal government. It was 10 years ago since that. The ramparts area west of Fort Good Hope, the Horn Plateau, the proposed park in the East Arm of Great Slave Lake, the expansion of Nahanni, those are issues that are out there. I don't understand the reluctance by the federal government to move on some of these. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
