Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the Minister touched on a couple of things that I would like to get further clarification on. The explanation he gives sounds much like what was considered when the Aboriginal Summit was established back in the 13th Assembly, so that this working relationship can be better established, so that this government and all the groups involved in self-government discussions could work in a better atmosphere and have some resources to deal with some of the issues before them.

Initially, it was wrapped around the constitutional side of things. It has evolved since then more to the self-government tables and the position of this government. It almost sounds like we are going another step here for one organization.

My question, and the Minister touched on it, he mentioned the Dene, Metis and Inuvialuit. Having Inuvialuit in my jurisdiction and the community I represent, who right now are part of the Aboriginal Summit, if there are going to be other monies establishing other working groups outside of that for better coordination, would they be able to put in something that would allow them funding for taking part in further discussions and going through legislation?

I have heard on a number of occasions that even though the land claim is settled, there is a lot of concern about implementation and the timing of it, what was agreed to and what was interpreted to be agreed to and does not seem to be agreed at this point.

I would just like to know if that avenue would be available to them to put in something of this nature, and maybe a little more on how this actually is separate from what the role of the Aboriginal Summit would be when initially established. Thank you.
