Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As most people know, there are presently negotiations going on for self-government agreements, but there is also a question about costs to implement those agreements. In the case of the Northern Accord agreements, a lot of the aboriginal groups are looking at the whole area of generating revenues for themselves to implement the self-government agreements. Yet, Mr. Speaker, there is no real statement anywhere in the budget or upon this government in regard to having the aboriginal groups have that ability to take on those own revenues and resources from their regions or their ridings where those land claims have been settled. I would like to ask the Minister has there been anything in writing that says this government will take over lands and resources in the Northwest Territories?
