Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I certainly look forward to the discussions that the Premier will have with his colleagues in the aboriginal governments. Is the Premier also looking at how they assemble certain provincial leaders? I know they support us regarding certain initiatives up in the northern parts of the provinces that are in similar situations and have been left isolated. There are no roads going to some of the communities; there is a high cost of living in some of the provinces. Is there a game plan that maybe one day the partners in the Northwest Territories, along with partners in Canada, can go down to Ottawa? I

guess I’m looking for that date when we can say to the federal government that we mean business; no more handouts. We want to see a good deal for the North. I guess that’s what I’m looking for.
