Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My question relates to the whole process of the Northern Accord in regard to the obligation that this government has not only to the residents of the Northwest Territories, but also to the individual claims organizations that have completed land claim agreements with a section which was left open to ensure that benefit agreements, in regard to aboriginal subsurface benefit agreements on settlement lands will be entrenched into the Northern Accord, also, in regard to the whole idea of royalties which will be transferred from the federal government to the Government of the Northwest Territories and also to the aboriginal groups.
So my question to the Premier is, is that this item was a priority of this government yet it seems as if it has come to a complete standstill, yet I think it is a critical enough item that we have to conclude it. We have a commitment to certain organizations which fall within the land claims agreements and also there is a fiduciary responsibility under those agreements to this government to conclude those negotiations with the federal government and with the aboriginal organizations that do have them. I would like to ask the Premier what is going to be done in relation to those organizations to ensure that those agreements are concluded and also those claims obligations are fulfilled? Thank you.
