Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question this afternoon is for the Minister responsible for the Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs. It is following the Member's statement I made today on impact benefits and the clawback policy of the Department of Education, Culture and Employment.

Mr. Speaker, I am trying to ascertain if it is a -- if chiefs and councils who provide their members with financial reward based on negotiated settlements with industry on impact benefit agreements, if that is an earned or unearned income. One of the ways we could determine that is to determine who is able to negotiate with industry for impact benefit agreements and participation agreements.

Asking the question to Mr. Ootes yesterday, his response was groups of people negotiating with industry. My understanding is Lutselk'e, the Yellowknives, the Dogrib Nation, the Inuit of Kugluktuk, the North Slave Metis, have negotiated with Diavik. Those are examples of some of the communities.

I would like to ask the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs if he is aware of any other groups that have negotiated with BHP and/or Diavik? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
