Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the changes that occur in the plan are occurring as a result of communications from those communities. Just yesterday, Baker Lake indicated that they wanted to talk to us about a caribou harvest in their area and how could it fit into the regional plan that would eventually see those animals ending up in Rankin Inlet to be processed. That was something we had not anticipated. Baker Lake had not shown that interest before. Just last month, Mr. Antoine approached me, and surprised me, by saying that his region had now agreed to a 17 kilometre gas pipeline down in the southwest corner of the Northwest Territories and they wanted to build it and own part of that pipeline. That came out of the blue. For Resolution expressed an interest in going back to logging under some new conditions. That was not to be anticipated by us, Mr. Speaker. So the changes I mentioned that are being put forward, changes what we might be doing in a particular region, are usually community driven. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
