Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In regards to issues, as this government may know, especially with the Inuvialuit and Gwich'in which basically traditionally originate from Alaska, the Yukon, NWT, in which they do have a lot of jurisdictional ties between the aboriginal groups, in regards to the Porcupine Caribou issue, and also the issue that I raised in the house about Old Crow, I was told that this was not a GNWT issue and that they wanted to keep out of it but constituents of mine, who feel strongly that they would like to intervene or support themselves, I believe that this government should also support the people I represent in dealing with those issues, similar to the support they are giving in regards to the circumpolar community. So will I be able to have this department consider those issues and support me on them, so that we can resolve it, and also have the individual aware that there are other jurisdictions in the North that may need that support, and that they should be there dealing with the people who deal with international issues?
