Debates of October 18, 2006 (day 10)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Premier:

Can the Premier provide the amount of royalties leaving the North and staying with the federal government, and our return from these resources in the last 10 years?

In terms of our financial fiscal imbalance, what does the North need to do to begin having our revenue from our resources managed by the North?

Will the GNWT provide an opportunity to discuss post-revenue sharing in the North? Who or when will the North sit down to discuss federal resources revenue management framework?

Can the Premier outline a strategic plan that demonstrates how northerners will react should we not get a satisfactory resource revenue or devolution agreement within the next year?

What will be the process to get the aboriginal governments a fair share of the resource revenue agreement and the devolution agreement?

Thank you.
