Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Aboriginal Affairs Ministry has a mandate to represent this government, as well as protect the interests of the whole of the Northwest Territories at the talks that go on in the land claims area. Now, with the self-government talks that are beginning, for example, in the Beaufort-Delta, we have the Gwich'in/Inuvialuit municipalities that have obtained the agreement of the federal government to start talking about self-government negotiations. We, as the Government of the Northwest Territories, will be representing the government, as well as the interests of the Northwest Territories, at these negotiations. This is protection for this government and the programs and services that we have as a government. We are there at the table to ensure that, during the discussions, that our interests are protected at the table. We are a third party at these negotiations. We feel that if the federal government and the aboriginal First Nations were to negotiate the self-government arrangements by themselves without us at the table, I think that we would be in serious trouble because what is on the table is existing programs and services that this government is currently providing. During the discussions, all these different programs will be discussed. We need to have our own representatives at the table to protect the interests of this government. Thank you.
