In regards to honourable Member's questions as far as the Makivik land claims going on, I am told that about 1,975 square kilometres are available for selection by Makivik for the offshore islands. So we are involved in negotiations because all the islands are NWT jurisdiction, with the Nunavut Final Agreement. The honourable Member is right, there is an agreement between the Nunavut Inuit and Nunavik Inuit, so there is an ongoing land claims in that area. So we are monitoring it and there again, it is an arrangement with the federal government and we are participating in that whole discussion and we are honouring the Nunavut Final Agreement in this process.

Once these islands will still be under the NWT and Nunavut jurisdiction during this whole process and hopefully, that is how we are going to try to resolve those issues. That is the position of this government at this time.

In regards to the other question for the Manitoba and Saskatchewan Dene in the northern part of the provinces, they have traditionally used the land in the north, north of 60, now in the Nunavut area. I understand that this issue has been settled out of court and I also know that Josie Kusugak and some Inuit leaders did meet with some of the chiefs from the provinces very recently. I did not know that some of the leaders from Saskatchewan have been asking to meet with this government to put their issues forward. I would just like to say that this issue is still not resolved. I think that we have to resolve these issues and try to work together. So, that is still ahead of us on this one here.

In regards to the Sahtu, once people work together, then they are able to come to an agreement on the issues that are before us and this is a good example of what happened with the Sahtu area in regards to Nunavut settlement. Thank you.
