Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The honourable Member is correct. Along with the Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs we have FMBS involved because of the costing and the program and service aspect of negotiations we have. The Department of Justice is involved because of the legal aspects of the different negotiations and legislation changes that will probably have to be made to accommodate it.
Municipal and Community Affairs is also involved because of the area of lands in the municipal areas. They have to be involved because they have the knowledge of it. Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development is also involved because there is the hunting, trapping and resource aspect of it. Whenever they are called upon they participate, but they are not there full time. I just want to make that point.
I also want to say that we did check with other jurisdictions before, and we learned that the Government of British Columbia spent over $43 million and have 207 positions and they have numerous negotiating processes. The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador spent $2.1 million, they have 22 positions and they have two processes. The same as the Yukon Territory, they have $1.6 million, ten positions and two processes. We spend $4.6 million with the Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs. We have 34 positions and we have seven negotiating processes going on. If you figure that out, then I think we are doing okay compared with other jurisdictions. Thank you.
