Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just for clarification, it is not really RWED that has set out the process for dealing with the Interim Measures Agreement. It is the Deh Cho people themselves. The process is laid out in the Interim Measures Agreement and in fact, in section 50 of that agreement, there is a provision that no forest management authorizations will be issued in the Deh Cho Territory without the support of the affected Deh Cho Nations. It goes on to say, however, that section 51 allows for certain exceptions.

We follow that very carefully and certainly honour that agreement. Thank you.
