Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Since we last met in this Chamber, I've had several meetings with aboriginal leaders going back to early December. At that meeting there was agreement by the majority of aboriginal leaders, regional aboriginal leaders in the Territories, that it was possible to work toward -- and they would work with us -- toward an agreement-in-principle by the end of March 2007. Mr. Speaker, that's a week or so, or 10 days or so after the federal budget and realistically the federal government has indicated to us that it's not likely they could come to a resource revenue sharing deal in advance of the federal budget. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
