Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have a question for both candidates with respect to the land claims and self-government issues.

I ask this question with the understanding and appreciation that a speedy settlement of land claims and self-government negotiations are desirable, not only for aboriginal people, but for non-aboriginal people of the Northwest Territories as well.

I also ask this question with the recognition and appreciation to address and recognize the rights of aboriginal people, and an appreciation of the outstanding obligations to the aboriginal people of the Northwest Territories.

I believe this is also important in order to create certainty in our economy and for all of the people in the Northwest Territories, in particular for the business community. My question to both candidates is; I would like to know what your vision is as to how the public government fits into the process, and how the non- aboriginal people, who have no direct claim in the process, but obviously have great stake in the process, fit as well, understanding that we all have to have a place and future in the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
