Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Dogrib leaders, Chief Joe Rabesca, and the Grand Chief, Mike Nadlii, I am told recently had a meeting with regard to the boundary between the Dogrib and the Deh Cho. I heard the meeting was positive and I think that the Grand Chief of the Deh Cho is in the process of relaying the outcome of this meeting to the Deh Cho. At this point in time, I have not heard any reaction to the type of arrangements with respect to a boundary between the two First Nations areas. It seems to be going in a positive direction, but as we all know, in the case of the Akaitcho, there is currently a court or legal challenge through the federal court by the Akaitcho regarding the Dogrib settlement area.

The Member asked what the implication would be. At this point in time, it would only be speculation. There is the legal process in place, as well as the boundary issues. As we said, there are negotiations going on in Ottawa as we speak and one of the subjects to be talked about would be the boundary overlap. There are still processes in place to try to deal with this really tough issue and I cannot speculate at this time. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
