Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yesterday my honourable colleague, Mr. Antoine, mentioned the Deh Cho Leaders' meeting held in Hay River Reserve this past week. The reason I bring this up is that I, too, was in attendance, along with the Dogrib Treaty 11 delegation. This was a very interesting and informative meeting where many issues were brought forward. I would also agree with Mr. Antoine that it was encouraging to see the level of cooperation building. It has been many years since I have seen the cooperation and frank discussions that took place between my regions and Deh Cho regions and various level of governments. All participants should feel proud of their accomplishments, and it is without a doubt that more meetings of this type will happen over the months to come. This will help steer our country towards division and a First Nations' land claims settlement. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
