Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker I just want to make a very brief statement in support of the principle of this bill. I do believe that this is a project that has been in the works for a very long time. I know that the members of the Tlicho government and their people are anxious to get this bill in the House.
I will be supporting the second reading of the bill in support of having the bill in the public domain for the public input and consultation process. I just want to state that I support the principle of this bill and that I look forward to having discussions about this bill. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, this bill approves, gives effect to and declares valid the Tlicho agreement, which is a land claims and self-government agreement among the Tlicho, the government of the Northwest Territories and the Government of Canada.
This bill also gives effect to the Tlicho tax treatment agreement which is in agreement, in relation to the tax treatment of the Tlicho government, Tlicho corporations and the Tlicho capital trusts.
This bill provides a mechanism for the transfer of personal property to the Tlicho government. It also provides for the legal recognition of the Tlicho agreement. The Tlicho tax treatment agreement and the laws made by the Tlicho government. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
