Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Amongst the leaders who were at the December 5th meeting, there was agreement that we would work toward an agreement-in-principle for the end of March. I had those same discussions earlier this week with Minister Prentice. He again indicated a willingness to work with us on it. He realizes there are some outstanding issues bilaterally between ourselves and the federal government that have to be resolved. We are going through negotiations on those. There may be some issues to be resolved yet from the aboriginal leaders, but everybody is willing to work toward that end of March deadline.

There is nothing magical about it, but I do want to move this one step ahead. After 20 years, we need to move to an agreement-in-principle during the life of this government. I am going to continue to stay focussed on that one. Yes, I believe we have enough leader support right now to continue on with that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
