Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Premier in regards to negotiated contracts. I would like this House to know that I support negotiated contracts, especially in my constituency. As a member of that constituency, I would like to make that clear. I would like to ask the Premier a question in regards to negotiated contracts. Under claims agreements, such as the Inuvialuit and the Gwich'in, there is an economic section which clearly states that there has to be economic opportunities given to those groups, no different than any other groups in the country. The Inuvialuit have had a claim for several years, in which that practise has been done. Also there has to be an account of lands or resources that are owned by that group in which, if the government is going to use or take those resources, they have to work out an economic agreement. I would like to ask the Premier, is he aware of that section of the agreement?
