Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Premier in regards to my Member’s statement on the amount of resources that are coming out of the Northwest Territories. In particular, I made mention of the Sahtu oil and gas minerals of $500 million leaving every year from Norman Wells to Zama and the state of the people living in the Sahtu, in terms of the poverty issue. I want to ask the Premier about giving hope to the people in the Sahtu and the people of the Northwest Territories having a sense that our resources here in the Northwest Territories are going to stay here in the Northwest Territories rather than go it to the Government of Canada in terms of getting a grant. After everything is said and done, they give us a grant to say, here, continue on living. But it seems like someone is being better than our own rich Territory. I want to ask the Premier in terms of his discussions with the leaders in terms of going forward in terms of seeing that there is a resource revenue sharing deal at hand here.
