Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The other area in regard to education is the whole area of treaty rights and program rights in regard to the delivery of programs and services and the accessibility of those programs to treaty Indians who are registered, members of particular bands especially in the Northwest Territories. This question seems to be a real problem when it comes to student loans and students who are attending school in southern Canada. They seem to have a real problem when it comes to funding, especially in regard to the aboriginal student. Where they seem to be left hanging out there like a lost tribe where they do not really associate with anybody. But yet, they are registered Indians on a particular list, especially in the bands in the Northwest Territories. It seems like it is an outstanding problem that seems to keep coming up, but it seems like at the end of the day we are talking about educating our people, it does not matter where they live, but limiting a resource which is being a member of a band to strive as far as they can in regard to getting the best education they can and being able to come home and assist the communities they come from. I
would like to ask the Minister, has he made any endeavours into trying to resolve this treaty question with the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs or the Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs to try to find a way to deal with this outstanding question? Thank you.
