Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, that is a difficult one because I think we are dealing with a difference of opinion here on this issue. There could be a difference of opinion on how you perceive things and just because you do not agree with one person does not mean you are right or wrong. It just means that you have a difference of opinion.

I do not know what the Member is referring to specifically. Perhaps it is based on the media, on the newspaper articles that are out there, that perhaps the chief negotiator for the Deh Cho is making statements about government so there are different government Ministers that may be replying in the media. This sort of thing could be handled quite easily in private. However, because the Deh Cho negotiations are in the public, the things that normally are dealt with at private meetings seem to be out in the media. You cannot really outlaw the media unless these negotiation sessions are held in camera.

It is hard to answer that type of question so I am just trying to understand where the honourable Member is coming from. That is the only knowledge I have. What is going on in the public are the different statements made either from the Deh Cho First Nations and the response from government.

We do not have any policy at all on what you call interference, so if somebody is making the accusation about government in the media, then the government officials that are named have to reply in the media. So I do not know. Either the two parties agree not to have it out in the media. Perhaps that is one way of doing it. Right now, there is no policy that the government has. If they are named in the media, then they should have an opportunity to explain in the same media as to why certain things are happening the way they are. Thank you.
