Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in light of the whole area of consultation, there are a lot of people within the bureaucracy of the government, not only the general public, who are basically new to the north who do not have much of a cultural awareness of the different tribal make up of the different groups of people in the north and also the history of the north and the whole area, which makes the Northwest Territories unique in the context that there are treaties still being acted upon. We have Treaty 8 and Treaty 11. You have the different land claim settlements between the Inuvialuit, the Gwich'in, the Sahtu. Claims are being negotiated in other areas. There has to be more of an effort by this government to ensure the general public and the people who work within this government are aware that there is a serious component to this government. More money has to be spent on communication and efforts have to be made to educate those people who do not understand the history of the north. I would like to ask the Minister, how much money has been spent to date to educate people in the whole area of claims and the history of the Northwest Territories?
