Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Minster responsible for Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development is heading up the devolution file on behalf of the government dealing with DIAND on these issues. Right now we are talking with the Minister who is dealing with the federal government on the transfer of employees to the Northwest Territories government or to the Northwest Territories. The Minister of Finance is dealing with his counterpart in Ottawa on taxes and tax regimes. We have also talked to some extent with the Aboriginal Summit, and it seems to us that the Aboriginal Summit does not endorse or support devolution to the territorial government of oil, gas, minerals, land, water or whatever until their whole issue of claims is settled, as well as self-government agreements. Thank you.
