Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we will immediately draft letters to aboriginal leaders, community leaders, and different organizations in the Northwest Territories with the content of Bill 15, as well as the recommendation of the committee which suggests that we introduce legislation on a number of key areas, and we intend to do that right away. I had already instructed my staff to begin drafting a comprehensive, informative letter to the appropriate leaders in the Northwest Territories, as well as myself, as well as other Members of Cabinet have been scheduled to continue to attend all the annual assemblies of the different organizations. In fact, I will be attending the Deh Cho First Nations Assembly in Kakisa here next week. Mr. Kakfwi is scheduled to attend the Dogrib Assembly here the following week, and there is a Sahtu Secretariat General Assembly. There is a Gwich'in Assembly still coming up, and the Metis Nation is having theirs in September. There is a series of different Assemblies that we are scheduled to attend. These are all the opportunities that we see right offhand to pursue a consultation with the aboriginal leaders and the different stakeholders. Thank you.
