Mr. Speaker, we can continue to talk to them, but as the Member knows, this northern accord is presently in abeyance, unless, at a very high political level, someone decides to move on with it. Yes, we will continue to speak with the people, whether it is with the Gwich'in, the claimant groups or the people who are not pursuing a claim at this time. I think the importance of the accord for all people is to get a handle on oil and gas resource development so we can more easily capture those benefits. So, yes, we will continue to talk and any time there is a request for a workshop so that communications can be better or new people can be brought in to understand what we are attempting to do, we will commit to do that.
