Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Our staff are aware of the developments in other jurisdictions including the Yukon, the type of legislation that governs oil and gas activity in places like Alberta, Saskatchewan, and including the Yukon. Our government is also committed to ensuring that aboriginal governments and aboriginal leaders in the Northwest Territories are fully involved in any developmental work we might undertake to prepare for devolution. We have not done any detailed work regarding possible legislation that we might implement for the day when we can and will become, with the aboriginal governments, the owners and the managers and legislators of our subsurface resources, lands and waters in the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
