Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, on just general comments. Sorry, Madam Chairperson. Madam Chairperson, one of the things that we did not touch on in general comments was the offshore claim situation with regards to Makivik. All islands, we know, in Hudson Bay and James Bay, and the Hudson Strait belong to the Northwest Territories Government. There was a concern from our committee when we reviewed this that were ongoing negotiations with the Quebec Government, the Government of Canada, and the Northwest Territories. However, after saying that, I wonder if the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs could just give us an overview on what is happening with the islands in James Bay which are overlapped by the Ontario Government and the Quebec Government as well as the Northwest Territories Government. Do we send people down there to check on the birds, the sanctuary? Are people using those islands? Are there permits and licenses involved? So some comments on that, and what is the fiscal side of things with Fiscally Cat. I see it just as clear as anyone else. So, I appreciate Fiscally Cat.
