Goo Arlooktoo on Minister's Statement 50-13(5): Tabling Of The Fourth Annual Report, Nunavut Land Claim Agreement

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As Minister responsible for Nunavut Transition Planning, I will be tabling the Fourth Annual Report on Implementation of the Nunavut Land Claim Agreement today. The land claim requires that the Nunavut implementation Panel report annually on all implementation activities related to the Nunavut Final Agreement. This report covers the period between April, 1996 and March, 1997 and is a summary of activities undertaken by government, NTI and the various organizations created under the land claim. The implementation panel is made up of representatives of the GNWT, the federal government and two representatives of NTI. In addition to being tabled in this Legislative Assembly, the Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs will also table a copy in the House of Commons. As well, the president of NTI will present it to the board of Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
