Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs is responsible for coordinating the Government of the Northwest Territories' activities in land claims and self-government negotiations, and it is also involved in implementation of the agreements that are reached. We are aware of the treaty and aboriginal rights that aboriginal and treaty people have in the North and make sure that they are there, but we are not responsible for those rights. It is a federal responsibility. That is where we want to make sure it remains at this present time. Thank you.
