Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We do have a commitment from the federal government to open the table to negotiate with our government the funding of the new Nunavut government. We do also have an agreement with the federal government on funding of self-government to negotiate MOU for self-government costs in the Western Territory, as some call Denedeh or Nahendeh. I think we as a government and Members of this Assembly have to have a positive outlook that Canada, as a federal government will live up to its responsibilities. They are the party that signed with the Inuit, the Nunavut accord. They have the responsibility for paying the claim that they signed. There is no other jurisdiction in this country that has been expected to pay for a land claim on the backs of its people. We as the north should not be expected to either.
So I am positive that the federal government will live up to its legal obligations to the people of the north and pay for Nunavut and the new Western Territory. Thank you.
