Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The question I have is for the Premier of the Northwest Territories and has to do with resource revenue sharing. In 2004-2005, Government of Canada northern mineral and oil and gas figures they gave on return of investments just for Norman Wells Esso Limited, the Norman Wells projects, the profits were $144 million. Mr. Speaker, these types of dollars have been coming out of the North for so many years it's not funny. Mr. Speaker, I have asked the Premier in terms of this issue here, it's a big ticket issue with resource revenue negotiations. As northern people, we have heard people talk about what we should be doing. I have asked the Premier in terms of the life of this government, what concrete plans can he muster up in terms of telling the government this is our position, enough is enough and this is what we are going to do in terms of getting resource revenue sharing benefits for the people in the North. Thank you.
