Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, this ministry needs resources and as a result there is going to be a supp that is going to be coming on later on because we were not able to get the necessary numbers and plan in action until we had Cabinet approval by January, but because of the supp, I think with the resources that are going to be provided to us, there is going to be enough for us to, with this ministry, to be involved in the self-government talks. I think with the PYs that we are going to get and some of the funding for travel, I think that should be adequate to take care of self-government negotiations for the time being. In the land claims area, perhaps if some situations evolved, such as the Treaty 8 talks, as well as the Deh Cho, if it comes around, then we probably will be requiring additional resources to have adequate people at the table in that area. Thank you.
