Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Premier with regard to my Member's statement about the whole area of establishing legislation to be able to enact a lot of the Claims Agreements where there are certain sections that relate to items such as the Wildlife Act to carry out activities, such as enforcement by our Wildlife Officers, basically giving the boards and agencies established through these agreements the authority to carry out their rules and responsibilities which are in these Land Claims Agreements. I would like to ask the Premier in regard to the Gwich'in Agreement which was signed off in April 1992. That was six years ago and nothing has been done to date to ensure that the legislation is being drafted and being readied to be passed through the House so that these agreements are ready to be enforced. Without the appropriate legislation, these agreements cannot come forth and the enforcement arm of this government cannot carry out their responsibilities. I would like to ask the Premier when does he see the Wildlife Act amendments being proposed to this House, to ensure these claims or agreements are being taken care of and the obligations we have as a government to ensure that those agreements are enforced? Thank you.
