Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the federal government through DIAND and water resources people look after the water and our interest at the table. As the Minister indicated, it was very clear that there were gaps in the communication. My question to the Minister is, is there a way that we can, as a government of the Northwest Territories, insist that the federal government agency representing us ensure that they have in fact a daily working relationship and formal connections with these other jurisdictions, to ensure that we do not have to go through this again? While we wait for this bilateral agreement to be signed, or this interjurisdictional agreement to be signed, that a working relationship can be hammered out to prevent this. Thank you.
