Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate, on behalf of myself and the people who I represent in the North Slave region, the Tungavik Federation of Nunavut and all of the Inuit people of the Northwest Territories on the successful ratification of their land claim agreement with Canada. Mr. Speaker, for the Inuit people of the Northwest Territories this must surely be an historic and exciting time. I am fully confident that they will implement and administer their land claims in a manner that will guarantee the future of their people for generations to come. Mr. Speaker, as you are aware, the Dogrib Treaty II Council has a mandate to negotiate with the federal government on the land claim for the North Slave region. It is our hope that through tough negotiations and hard work, such as my Inuit colleagues have just accomplished, we will also be able to reach a land claim agreement with the Government of Canada that will guarantee the future of the Dogrib people. Mahsi.
