Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I thank the Premier for his response but we've been paying the price for far too long. We've been paying the price on negotiations for devolution, negotiations on resource revenue sharing for years and years, not to mention the millions of dollars -- the Premier mentioned $68 million -- in mining development that the Territories spent. We've also been spending money in preparation for the pipeline. Are we going to be able to recoup any of this money? I don't think so, absolutely not. If we don't have an agreement with Ottawa, we have no ability to get this money back. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to ask the Premier, when is he going to address the fact that 75 percent of the population in this territory is left without any ability to pay for the impact of this mega project in our backyard? Thank you.
