As Members know as well, most of the Northwest Territories is subject to the settlement of comprehensive claims and most of those have benefit agreements that are required by law to be fulfilled when projects are being proposed. There are discussions with communities and regions as to trying to find ways to encourage communities, particularly aboriginal people to take on jobs and training in the industries that are most prevailing. Those are the types of initiatives that this government tries to advance, as well as looking at partnerships between the mining companies and the aboriginal claims organizations in the area to ensure that a working relationship is established at the onset and the working relationship is posed to result in some very real benefits to both parties as work progresses. Thank you.
