Mr. Speaker, as I understand the situation, part of the dispute revolves around the fact that it is the government's view that the Gwich'in Tribal Council went out and did some work that was not authorized. The Department of Public Works has looked at the work and has tried to come to an agreement on what the value of that work is. I do agree with the Member that some of these issues should not be long and drawn out, but it isn't just a matter of the government dragging its heels. Thank you.
