Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just wanted to raise one particular concern with regard to the Northern Accord, and I know that Ms. Cournoyea, as a Minister, knows it is an issue with the Gwich'in. The Gwich'in have been concerned about what you might say is no agreement being reached on the Northern Accord issue mainly because it is part of their final land claims agreement. They have asked me, and I believe Mr. Koe, to express some concern that it does have a bearing on the final legislation, and if some resolution can be made with regard to the issues related to benefits, that the Minister should consider that, and look at the various options that might accommodate that final agreement.
