Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, we have to take action but taking action on trying to sue the federal government probably wouldn't work. Withholding payments on taxes wouldn't work. They would just deduct it off our formula anyway. Mr. Speaker, there is an election coming up sometime. I don't know if it is in the next few months or the next years. The best action we as northerners can take is to take action when it comes to a vote. Are they going to live up to the word of the previous Liberal government and the current new government in Ottawa? Who is going to live up to it? What commitment are they going to make to us? Let every person in the Northwest Territories vote that we want our fair share of resource revenues. That will be the most effective action we can all take together. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
