Thank you, Madam Chair. Just a question with regards to the amount. There are a number of negotiating tables that are out there now, I believe there is the Inuvialuit, the Gwich'in, the Dogribs, Treaty 8, and the other groups presently under negotiations. With the amount of resources we have and the amount of human resources we have put to it, I do not think this is adequate, and I think maybe we should increase the amount to maybe $6 million or $7 million to get the job done before division. Maybe the Minister can tell us exactly the demand from the aboriginal organizations and the responsibility this government has at those tables to ensure we have adequate human resources there, as well as the time-frame that we are looking at for these agreements to be concluded. I believe we are looking at a deadline for the Beaufort Delta of April 1999 to have the agreement in principle completed. Do they have the adequate resources in place with the amount of resources that we have earmarked? I believe it is a little low.
