Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Intergovernmental Forum Secretariat has the job of working for the aboriginal governments, the Government of the Northwest Territories, and the federal government on a number of issues we have agreed will form our agenda.

There is preliminary work done to ensure the ongoing ability of the Intergovernmental Forum to function. Specifically, it is focusing on economic development, namely revenue sharing and devolution. Recently, we have moved to focus on capacity building. Specifically, we have asked the Intergovernmental Forum Secretariat to look at regional reorganization as a specific element within regional capacity building, in a way to allow all governments in the Intergovernmental Forum to have a common basis for beginning discussions on capacity building. Thank you.
