Leon Lafferty North Slave

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to let my constituents and the House know that tomorrow morning I will be heading to Calgary for Treaty 11 talks. The final agreement negotiations are occurring regarding the land claim for my constituents of North Slave.

Unfortunately, there seem to be continuous roadblocks, which are slowing down the negotiations. I will be joining the Treaty 11 Council tomorrow morning in Calgary to see if I can be of service as a Member of the Legislative Assembly.

I will be back on Friday, and I will join the House and forward questions to the departments if necessary. Thank you.

-- Applause
