Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Is it part of the government's responsibility to impose its will on people when the people are still negotiating their rights in Canada? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, yes, within our legislation, we have to treat people equally. We cannot make exceptions. We have to follow the laws of our government. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Without resolving the issue of aboriginal and treaty rights, and ownership of lands in communities, how does the government have the gall to create legislation that imposes its will on people? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 303-14(5): Poor Condition Of The Fort Mcpherson Water Source Access Road

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Minister of Transportation regarding a question I asked earlier to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs, about the wear and tear and the breakdown of the community's water supply vehicles from some 20 kilometres out of the community.
One of the main problems we are seeing is the wear and tear on the highway, especially the Dempster Highway. It has caused a lot of the breakdowns on these vehicles because of the bad condition of that road.
I would like to ask the Minister, will you consider looking at a different type of surface material so the highway system for this 20 kilometres does not continue to erode to the point where vehicles are actually breaking down and the parts on those vehicles are breaking because of the bad condition of those roads?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to direct this question to the Minister responsible for Finance. Land claims are a big issue and have been a big issue in the Northwest Territories for many years. We have three settled and three in negotiations.
I would argue that the Government of the Northwest Territories is also in its own land claims negotiations through the Intergovernmental Forum. Would the Minister not agree that the Government of the Northwest Territories is negotiating a land claims in the Northwest Territories? Thank you.
