This is in response to a question asked by Mr. Steen on September 24, 1998. It is in regard to the Inuvialuit Wildlife Amendments.

The Wildlife Conservation Act, Bill 27, was introduced in 1991 to make various amendments to the Wildlife Act, including changes to recognize the Inuvialuit Final Agreement (IFA). Although the Bill was not approved by the Legislature, amendments to recognize the IFA were made in 1994 when a completely new section (Part II) was added to the act.

The department has prepared an amendment to the Wildlife Act which will formally recognize the Gwich'in and Sahtu Land Claims. The department is currently consulting with the Gwich'in and Sahtu claimant organizations on the amendment.

Furthermore, the department is still committed to a thorough and comprehensive review of the Wildlife Act following division of the Northwest Territories.
