Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this Royal Commission on Aboriginal People report that came out, personally I think it is a very good report. It is long overdue. It covered a lot of the areas that are of great concern to all aboriginal people in Canada and, as a result of such an in-depth report, we would like to closely look at it. I think a lot of the different recommendations and issues that are addressed in the document itself, just looking at it preliminarily, are some of the things that we are endeavouring to do here in the Legislative Assembly, in terms of the Constitution, regarding division, regarding community empowerment, and self government and, especially, the inherent right to self government. And yes, we will have input from the ordinary members as we look at this document and put a proper type of response together on the position of the Government of the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
