Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, if the honourable Member is asking if we have received any letters or any correspondence or any indication that there is endorsement for this process, I think that I could say that continuation of the involvement of Members to the Constitutional Working Group, I think is an indication there is an endorsement through participation. I attended the Beaufort Delta leaders meeting before Christmas, in the fall. There were positive comments that we have to work together to see if we could set something for ourselves set up, so that we could govern ourselves after 1999. I think that is in itself a sort of endorsement. I think there were letters sent suggesting that different things should be taken into consideration when we are proceeding with this. There are phone calls from individuals, from elders and different leaders on suggestions on how to proceed. So, I think there is some endorsement of that nature in this rolling draft for the proposed constitution for the new constitution for the NWT. Thank you.
