Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The jurisdiction will extend throughout the settlement area and from my understanding, is it their position that they cannot move that boundary line to have one between the two groups? I do not know how they are going to resolve this issue. If their area of jurisdiction has the total settlement area and they do not move that boundary to somewhere between them, then the Akaitcho people would have virtually no area of jurisdiction of their own. The current boundary goes right around the communities and, in fact, goes to the southern shores of Great Slave Lake. Right on the door step of Tu Nedhe. The chief from Fort Resolution, if he wants to go fishing or needs to get a permit, currently has to ask the Dogrib chiefs if it is okay. The government has to do that. That is how bad it is and that is how bad it will continue to be because if those boundaries are not moved, it is not only that it also includes the Deh Cho people. All the people are being told that the boundary cannot be moved.
There has to be a way to resolve this, but Mr. Chairman, I just want it made known that I do not feel that there is any way that this government can allow an AIP to be signed unless there is substantial movement or perhaps even an actual boundary being put in place which respects the neighbouring first nations, the Akaitcho Territories and the Deh Cho First Nations. Thank you.
