Mr. Speaker, the government is committed to trying to initiate discussions with aboriginal leaders, with aboriginal government representatives in the Northwest Territories to see if they are interested in taking a collective partnership approach to assuming ownership of all lands and resources including inland waters within the Northwest Territories and developing an agreement and a process for advancing that to the federal government. Hopefully, we will have some indication of that when we discuss this issue with the chiefs next week here in Yellowknife. Thank you.
