(Translation) Thank you, Madam Chair. I had a few comments that I forgot along the way but I will pursue certain comments. First of all, regarding the Nunavik Makivik land claims and I would like to express my gratitude for working with them. I have been a member with the land claims process back in the days when it used to be called TFN and we used to work with the Makivik Corporation. I did not quite understand the response to one of the questions concerning the islands just north of northern Quebec. But, I do remember that the leaders of Nunavut, during one of our meetings, indicated, as well as members of the Sanikiluaq area, we all made an agreement that these islands would be accessible for all of the parties to have hunting rights. In particular, those people are true Inuit even though they live in Quebec. They have become part of Quebec in only recent years, as of 1912. They had apparently been redefined in the borders of Quebec from outside of the territories and we agreed that as fellow Inuit we would never sue one another for crossing or overlapping our border rights. That being the case, I would like to appreciate and respect that agreement.

There were other items as well, including the people of Arviat and Baker Lake. These regions are the closest within the border of the other provinces. My question is this, you have Manitoba aboriginal people and you have Saskatchewan aboriginal people, and at that time those groups could not come to an agreement and they were interested in taking action in court. I am wondering what the status is of that situation?

I also want to recognize the people of Sahtu. We had a good working relationship, and if I remember correctly, we were able to make agreements concerning our land claims, and I would like to recognize that importance. So, as far as my two questions go concerning the islands of northern Quebec, what is their status now? My other question is on the status of the other aboriginal groups. What has become of the court cases that were pending from the other aboriginal groups? Thank you, Madam Chair.
