Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I guess if you follow the text of those conditions I guess that is the way it could be viewed by people who are Members of the Treaty 8 Group. However, in the Agenda for Change I take the view that there are certain circumstances that have not existed before I became involved in this Cabinet. I am not saying that as an excuse, but certainly those sorts of conditions should be looked at and as this government. We have taken the view that those sort of discussions are actually
a bilateral type of discussion that should take place between the Treaty 8 First Nations and the federal government.
It is more of a negotiating type of a discussion that I think Treaty 8 are involved in some preliminary discussion now with the federal government leading to some sort of a formal process. I think this kind of area, I would prefer to leave it up to that forum for them to sort it out. There are a lot of grey areas in the Northwest Territories where there is Treaty 8 or Treaty 11, or this government had previously made laws or regulations that are infringing on treaty areas, such as this one here. Those sorts of areas have to be sorted out. The people who are in a position to do it would be the Treaty 8 First Nations when they are discussing some formal negotiations with the federal government. I would prefer not to answer that question in this matter. Thank you.
