Thank you Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, on February 3rd, David Krutko asked a question on funding for self-government negotiations. The ministry does not provide funding to aboriginal groups for self-government negotiations. The funding for aboriginal groups in participation for self-government negotiations is a federal government responsibility. The Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs' Self Government Division received a budget of $794,000 for 1996/97 fiscal year. Other departments of government provide support using existing resource allocations and do not receive specific allocations for self-government negotiations. The proposed reduction to the 1997/98 budget for the Self Government Division of the Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs is $192,000. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
