Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the whole area of awareness in the Northwest Territories and the honourable Member called it unique, for me, it is not unique. It is common for me because as an aboriginal person with that background and coming from that arena in politics, it is not unique for me. It is common for all of us. It may be unique for other people who are not familiar with the situation in the north. In that way, it is unique. However, Mr. Speaker, this department, as well as this government, has supported the land claims, is supporting the inherent right to self-government and we are at the negotiating tables and we are discussing these really key issues with the support that we have with this whole initiative. At the same time, Mr. Speaker, there is a constitutional development process that is going on and you cannot separate that process away from what is going on with self-government negotiations. There is an awareness factor that has to be considered and that this information on the whole revolving involvement of the self-government negotiations at the table has to be shared with the north. The reality is that this whole government here after division and after self-government negotiations are concluded, this government will not be the same government.

This has to go out to the communities and we are attempting to do that through the Constitutional Working Group where we are having workshops in the communities. We have developed a book called, Common Ground, and a newsletter which lay out a couple of approaches on how to do it. There are a lot of components that people have to know in the communities about treaty rights, aboriginal rights and the inherent right to self-government. That is going on. Exactly how much money is going to the whole process over the years? It is quite a few. If you start looking at the land claims negotiations and how much money was spent toward it, the self-government negotiations and how much money was spent toward it and the whole constitutional development process, there are huge sums of money that we have spent in to develop this process to share this information and to create a dialogue in the communities. Thank you.
