Mahsi cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Premier. Mr. Speaker, this past summer, in late August, the leadership and elders and people of Akaitcho met with the Premier and some members of his Cabinet right here in the Great Hall, at which time they expressed very eloquently and with a lot of passion their fears of their traditional lands being alienated through the Tlicho Agreement. Through a land use map, they clearly demonstrated their use of the land in question throughout history, with communities that have been established along the shoreline of Great Slave Lake and past into the tundra. Yet the Premier and his staff initialled the final Tlicho Agreement, knowing that there are other interests on the said lands within the Tlicho Agreement. Would the Premier allow his Minister and officials to sign a final agreement before those disputed issues of land ownership and use of land are resolved? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
