Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If I can go back a little bit in history here, we, for the last 20-some years, have been negotiating trilaterally with aboriginal leaders, territorial government and federal government on a devolution and resource revenue sharing agreement. Mr. Speaker, more recently, going back to about 2003 or 2004, the provinces and territories and federal government acknowledged that there was a fiscal imbalance between how resources are shared across the country. Along with the other provinces and territories, we were involved with that exercise. That is a separate exercise, but it is looking at a fairer arrangement of sharing resource revenues. So, Mr. Speaker, there are two processes going on here at the same time. We, as I said, have a right and obligation to be involved in both of them. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
