Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Department of Aboriginal Affairs is trying to inform the public via this forum here to bring up different issues of concern and updating on the different claims issues and self-government negotiations within this forum, as well as making presentations to the respective aboriginal First Nations and Metis organizations at their meetings. It is an ongoing process, Mr. Speaker that we, as the Government of the Northwest Territories, have a position in these areas and we are trying to express that position in all of these areas. With regard to Mr. James Ross' business of trying to facilitate this discussion, it is another option people have. He provides a service and if different individuals, this government, different companies or industries are interested in taking up Mr. James Ross' business proposal, it is really up to them which gives them an avenue to explore and talk about the issues regarding aboriginal treaty and land claims issues. Thank you.
