Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I've said before, my focus is on our negotiations. As long as we're negotiating, as long as we feel we're making some progress, then I want negotiations to be the focus. If we begin to pull other avenues here and then we may jeopardize the negotiations and I don't think that will get us anything in the short term.
Mr. Speaker, we're pretty small in the Northwest Territories compared to issues across Canada. One MLA, one Senator...or, sorry; one MP, one Senator. We're not big on the federal scheme of things, so we need to have a lot of partners. Mr. Speaker, what we do here is watch very closely. It's watched by industry, it's watched by the federal government much more closely than we realize most days. Everything we say is heard. If we start talking moratoriums, Mr. Speaker, that's heard all through the industry and in Calgary and it's a scary word. It adds to their view of us as being less than credible as we want to be. So we have to, I think, stick to a course, stay focused, negotiate in good faith, and if that doesn't work, then we've got to do other things, whether it's hand games or an old van down the highway or whatever it may be. But we have to maintain our credibility as a responsible government. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
