Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, with the $114 million leaving the Northwest Territories in terms of return on investment to the federal government in 2004-2005, the time we finish negotiations we're going to have nothing left. So I'm saying, what is it we need to do that gets an ally such as industry, those allies such as the aboriginal governments? We need to put something in place that shows us that we're getting a return. Members talk about a trust, a heritage trust fund. We have to get something. Again, it's a matter of life or death. This is our land. These are our people. Let's stop being beggars in our own land.
