Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am aware of the concern. There has been correspondence directed to me on an infrequent basis. It has been brought to my attention. Just yesterday I met with the president of the South Slave Métis Tribal Council in regard to that issue as well.
There is concern out there about the definitions being used. I have stated to those individuals that I am interested in looking at this issue to ensure that from our perspective, we are using the appropriate definition. Also, I directed the comment back that we would like the input of the various organizations down the road as well.
Our definition, of course, was done in consultation...I am informed by my officials that it was done in consultation with the Department of Aboriginal Affairs. There was some information passed on to us. Thank you.
