Thank you, Mr. Speaker. No, our leader is similar to a farmer, you know, you reap what you sow in terms of your gardening here. So, Mr. Speaker, would the Premier, in terms of the urgency and the need for this type of deal to get done with the aboriginal governments and with the people of the Northwest Territories, would he look at strong...People are asking why are you guys not a provincial government? You'd have more authority. Right now you're a territorial government under the administrative act of the federal government. You know, what type of leverage do we have? Right now we have our land and we have the aboriginal governments onside on some of the issues. We need to move this up so, again, can the Premier give me some assurance in terms of things are getting done and that we need to reach a point where there's no turning back? Thank you.
