Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would like to ask a question of both candidates for Premier. The resolution and implementation of land claims, treaty entitlements and self- government agreements, in my view, is critical for all residents of the Northwest Territories. I think finalized settlements will move us along in terms of community wellness, will move us closer to resource revenue royalty sharing, increased economic activity, and provide much needed clarity on a lot of fronts. Some people have said the GNWT is not doing everything it can to facilitate these agreements. I would like to ask each candidate, what you would propose as Premier to facilitate fair and speedy resolution of these agreements?
