Mr. Speaker, I haven't discussed with the Minister any suggested processes as of this date. The agreement was -- and both the Inuvialuit and Gwich'in agreed -- that, at this time, the process set up by the Constitutional Development Steering Committee will be followed. In December, we'll be meeting and we will discuss a work plan and a budget, as well as hear from this regional group how they would like to advance their proposal.
It was a long-winded response to the earlier question simply because of the word "status" in the region itself. The paper they have has good status. It's supported by the region, by the leaders and it's being pushed. It's been blessed by every citizen in that particular region. The Members of the Legislative Assembly have given it some positive status by receiving it. The government has said it has some good, positive elements. It's a natural part of the process that was set up, but it has no status with the federal government at this time. That is the reason for my attempt at rationalizing why I gave such a long response earlier. Thank you.
