Thank you, Mr. Speaker. When reviewing the Social Assistance Act, I noted that it was initially written in 1990. At this time, exploration for diamonds was in its initial stages and few land claims were settled. Impact benefit agreements were certainly not a subject of common concern. It is time for the legislation to be updated. As I stated earlier, the Dogrib Treaty 11 and the leaders would like to have more input in how the policies are put in place.
