Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the ministry manages and co-ordinates the Government of the Northwest Territories' participation at these comprehensive claims. This one, for example, in the Dogrib claim, the GNWT is involved, and if we need other resources from other departments then we manage and co-ordinate the GNWT team as they sit and negotiate the Dogrib claim. We are involved as taking a lead role at the negotiating tables. Our negotiators have mandates and instructions and they carry the work out on our behalf. We are more or less taking the lead role at the table. Whatever resources we need, whatever additional lawyers or different experts we need at the table, then we co-ordinate that. Thank you.
