Well, they are basically doing the same thing we are looking at through community empowerment. The aboriginal council in Aklavik for instance, consists of the Inuvialuit, the Gwich'in, the Metis, and also through the hamlet council. So there are already these structures being developed in communities to take over these things, but they are doing it sort of at their own pace, they want to make sure that they take it over with the adequate resources that are there. And also sort of formulated into what they are doing through self-government negotiations. So these initiatives are already there, these institutions are already being developed because of land claim agreements, or because of self-government negotiations. So in light of what we are doing here, we have to also keep in mind that those procedures are both going to eventually clash, because they are going after the same thing. So you have to keep that in mind when you are doing this initiative.
