Thank you, Madam Chair. My question relates to the expense factor here. I also noted before that we have under corporate affairs funding for self-government under the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs. Could we get an explanation of what the role of the territorial government is with respect to self-government negotiations and where this expenditure is going?

Thank you, Madam Chair. I think perhaps I can clear it up fairly quickly. There are a number of tables, as they say, negotiating tables underway in this self-government exercise. Our expenditures are based on the Financial Management Board Secretariat because it has a role in this. Aboriginal Affairs has a role in this, Justice because there is a lever component and MACA. So each of these departments has identified the resources necessary for them to sit at the negotiating tables as it relates to representing the interests of the GNWT in the self-government exercise, hence the identification, for example, in legal services in Justice of $170,000. You will see in the MACA budget $323,000, in the Aboriginal Affairs budget, $391,000 and in FMBS, $212,000. Thank you.

It is primarily in the self-government negotiations that are underway. These departments are, in political terms, looking after the interests of the GNWT by being active participants in the envelopes surrounding self-government.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, during the budget discussions the Minister of Finance identified $1 million for self-government talks and land claim participation and he suggested at that time I believe, that this money would come and be identified in future through supplementary appropriations. I am wondering if this is what I am seeing now?
