Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Premier. It is in regard to this new initiative that has been taken by the department on negotiated contracts and basically establishing new criteria in regard to consideration of negotiated contracts. I would like to ask the Premier, has he consulted with the Gwich'in Tribal Council or the Inuvialuit in regard to the economic chapters of their land claim agreements, which clearly state that the Government of the Northwest Territories shall consult the Gwich'in Tribal Council when developing, modifying for its preferential contracting policies, procedures or approaches? Has this government made any attempt to contact or develop with the aboriginal groups, the Inuvialuit or the Gwich'in, when they changed or established this new criteria for this negotiated policy?
