Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We certainly want to give the aboriginal leaders the ability, the capacity to be able to participate in negotiations toward devolution and resource revenue sharing. A decision has been made to allocate the money that we would normally contribute to the Aboriginal Summit to each of the regional groups on a proportionate basis that they have agreed to. We are in the process of doing that right now. Each region will be funded separately for negotiations. Mr. Speaker, they will work together and are of the same mind with regard to devolution. That is those who are working with us. Not all of them are working with us on this, Mr. Speaker, because they have other priorities. Thank you.
