Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In regard to cabinet secretariat intergovernmental affairs, it lists the offices and contacts between governments, federal government and provincial, do you have any connection between, and the group I am talking about is the Gwich'in First Nation which originated from Alaska to the Yukon to the Northwest Territories? Is there any collaboration between this government and the American government in regard to the Unites States of their international jurisdictional concerns that may arise from the aboriginal groups through things such as the Jay Treaty where there are international agreements in place between aboriginal groups in the United States and Canada. Does this portfolio look at items such as that or have they made an attempt to?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Intergovernmental Affairs would assist in the preparation of strategies to address intergovernmental and international issues, maintains and coordinates official contacts between the GNWT, the federal, provincial, Yukon and circumpolar governments. So we do have contact with, it would be Alaska as well being a circumpolar government. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Could the Premier tell me exactly what resources are available to, say, interest groups who may have an area of interest between jurisdictions. Is there financial assistance to an aboriginal group attending events in different jurisdictions? Are there funds there to look at the whole area of trade between jurisdictions? Is there anything in this budget in regard to O and M? You have $2,011,000, is any of that money allocated for such usages?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We do not have money in our budget for that type of activity. Possibly there may be dollars available from a line department, for example, if it was a wildlife issue they could apply. I would not guarantee there is any money there either, but I know it is hard enough for our communities and our aboriginal people to find money to meet amongst themselves let alone going internationally. So, it is tough, but it would be a line department. If there is an economic development conference, for example, you would go to Economic Development. If there is a conference on wildlife, you would go to RWED, but what their luck would be, I do not know.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Can a department look at the possibility of finding funds, in consultation with the affected organizations, in regard to this bilateral arrangement between jurisdictions so that they can sit down with this government to find monies for consultation with these groups to see exactly what those issues are and finding ways of adapting them to the next budget so that these areas are looked at?
