Mr. Speaker, that is exactly why we have to conclude a resource revenue sharing deal.
---Applause
Mr. Speaker, it is our money that is coming out of here. The federal government has it and now are looking at an equity position with our money. That's why, Mr. Speaker, short of having a deal, we are sitting here being frustrated because other people are talking about how to spend our money.
Mr. Speaker, I would not want our government to be in a position where it's competing with the Aboriginal Pipeline Group or aboriginal business or any business in the North. So our first priority, Mr. Speaker, would be to have northern businesses own the equity shares of these kind of projects rather than us as a government get into it. Who knows how the negotiations will go? It may come to that at some point where we own a share. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
