Yes, my honourable colleague is correct, what we are identifying here is by department the monies that have been allocated for us to be at the different negotiating tables in self-government. Yes, correct.

David Krutko Mackenzie Delta
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.

I know it is a serious issue, so I will not jest, I was just going to say that if I see Mr. Antoine sending gifts to Mr. Krutko, he is in trouble.

I think that Mr. Antoine and his group who have the responsibility for this exercise and have the coordinating responsibility in the government have identified $1 million plus in resources. If it is not adequate, has not moved forward, we have a responsibility to re-examine that. As far as I understand it, from discussions with Mr. Antoine and the departments, this is the number they have requested, this is the number the FMB have approved. I do not know if it is going to be $1 million, $1.5 million or $6 million or $10 million, but we have approved the dollars that were presented to us by Mr. Antoine's department who coordinated the request by the departments who have officials at the table on the self-government discussions.
