Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the department is aware of the situation of people who are putting cabins out on the different lakes along the Ingraham Trail and elsewhere. There are different types of leases out there. I understand there are some federal Crown land leases. There are some Commissioner's land leases. There are individuals who are building without any lease. The Member called them squatters.
We are aware of it. We are doing something about it. We have issued a letter to the different First Nations governments, the Akaitcho Territorial Government. We also wrote a letter to the North Slave Metis to make them aware of it, as well as to the association on the Ingraham Trail, to let them know this department is aware of the issue and asking how we should approach it. We do need to approach it. We intend to approach it. I think there are some good signals out there from the aboriginal side. The Akaitcho government have initialled a framework agreement. I think there are provisions in there on some sort of interim arrangements. That could be talked about. That may help some in that area.
We have to be sensitive to those types of claims that are being put forward. We need to approach it that way. Yes, we are doing something about it. Hopefully, in a short while here, we could move on it. I would like to have the deputy minister add more detail to that. Thank you.
