Jackson Lafferty

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. (Translation) Mr. Speaker, I’d like to question on my Member’s statement regarding revenue sharing. (Translation ends)

…stress to finalizing this important deal that we’re faced with, resource revenue sharing. It is essential we unite as one voice in the North.

Mr. Speaker, my first question was already asked by my colleague Mr. Hawkins. I will just continue with my next question. Mr. Speaker, to date, over the past 20 years how much have we spent approximately to date, just a rough figure on these negotiations with the federal government? I think the public needs to be aware of how much we’ve spent to date. Mahsi.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Mr. Lafferty. The honourable Premier, Mr. Handley.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I don’t have a calculation and I’ll have to take that as notice and provide the Member with a written response on that. Sorry. Thank you.
