Thank you, Mr. Speaker. One of the elements you touched on was the successful implementation of these arrangements. Under the different items to negotiate, using the Gwich'in agreement as an example, it states that implementation plans and financial arrangements relating to self-government agreements will also be negotiated once the items have been identified.

Are you jumping the gun by saying we cannot agree to putting something in place because we do not know what the whole picture is? In order to get a better understanding of what the cost factor is, you have to have a complete agreement. How close are we to having a complete agreement so we know how much this self-government agreement is going to be?
