Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I appreciate the time, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Braden is not alone here. I am in support of this initiative by government. Sometimes I wonder if we are a government and we should be just hired as managers and not as legislators, because sometimes initiatives that the government makes, we do nothing with but try to kill. The road toll is a good example of that.
We are talking about process now. It is a process that my colleagues spend many, many minutes -- hours even, discussing process. To what end, Mr. Chairman? I do not know.
I would like to talk process here, Mr. Chairman. I would like to know what are the next steps now that we have a body of knowledge, now that we have contacts in the South Slave, people on the payroll who have been working with the aboriginal groups.
The question that our colleague, Mr. Miltenberger, who is on the other side of the House now, brought to your attention a week or so ago on Alberta's plans to develop the Slave River, the possible development of the Slave River for Alberta and how that might effect the Slave River in the Northwest Territories and all the people in the Northwest Territories, knowing that 75 percent of the watershed that goes through the Mackenzie and into the Northwest Territories comes from the Slave River. To me, there is some urgency here. What are the next steps with the remaining $300,000? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
