Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, with regard to court cases and whatnot that have happened where the Government of the Northwest Territories has definitely been identified as being independent from the federal government system, where we do have the right to make our own decisions, I would like to ask the Minister, have you asked the Department of Justice for a legal opinion with regard to the independence of ourselves as a government and how we can intervene in those federal processes either through the environmental assessment process or benefit agreements?
