Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I understand the federal government will more than likely appeal the decision. However, Mr. Speaker, as of last Thursday this is law and it is a federal decision, so it has national implications including Treaty 8 in the Northwest Territories. If there is a stay, then the decision is suspended until the appeal process is done, but without having that knowledge, I think we have to react to this law right now, if only in a small way by communicating to Treaty 8 staff of the GNWT that we are waiting because they are wondering.

I would like to ask the Minister, if there is an appeal from the government does this government have any plans of intervening in either support of the decision or against the decision? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
