Mr. Speaker, it is the practice of this government, as well as the practice of the federal government, to respect the role that the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development plays in relation to federal issues in the Northwest Territories. Issues relating to aboriginal issues, resource issues, land and water issues that are clearly the Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs, plays the primary lead role and that other Ministers are, in many cases, playing a secondary roll. Always, we try to speak first to the Minister and then we seek to speak to other Ministers as well. Thank you.
