Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I believe it's March 28th that we will be meeting with the aboriginal summit of the Western Arctic. I have raised the issue with the aboriginal chiefs who I met with on an individual basis already. We made it very clear to Mr. Irwin, the Minister of DIAND, that we will be expecting them to relinquish control of northern resources when we come knocking and present them with a paper. But the first thing we have to do is get our aboriginal partners onside. I believe we have a very good working relationship with them. We will be speaking to them about it and proceeding as soon as we finish signing the protocol agreements with the aboriginal groups. Thank you.
