Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My question is to the Minister in relation to the community negotiating process that is going on in Aklavik, regarding comments made in the House about Liz McPherson. There is a letter sent to the Premier, January 23rd, from the chairman of the Aklavik Aboriginal Committee, Charlie Furlong, and it clearly states Mr. Furlong was advised by Liz McPherson that the regional superintendent of MACA Inuvik is not co-operating in allowing her to participate effectively in the community empowerment activities. If the superintendents are not following this process, because they are the ones that make the ultimate decision in the Inuvik region, how can this process be conducted in a way that is manageable and allows the individuals who have been given the responsibility to oversee, as a co-ordinator of rights in Inuvik region, Ms. McPherson, yet the superintendents are not cooperating? If this process is suppose to be simplified is allowed to proceed. Have the regional superintendents been given warning that this is a priority of this government?
