Thank you. If I could just clarify before Mr. Cooper makes a comment on this, I did not say that we do not have a role. It is that we do not have a lead role. The Department of Justice is very interested and involved in this government's role in the self-government negotiations. I, as a Minister, as a member of the Constitutional Affairs Committee of the Cabinet, and as is the deputy minister very deeply involved with the Constitutional Affairs Committee. We did state that we have three lawyers dedicated to this side of the self-government negotiations. What we were clarifying is what specific role do we play in this process. I would like to ask Mr. Cooper to add a bit more detail to that.
