Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Dogrib land or settlement area outside of the Dogrib land that surrounds the four communities is huge. It almost goes right across the whole Northwest Territories, and it encompasses three diamond mines and potentially more diamond mines. We see examples around the world of how these kinds of conflicts can escalate to unmanageable levels.

I would like to ask the Minister, what are the implications for the Akaitcho, for the South Slave Metis and for the Deh Cho, who are negotiating their own processes with the federal government and this government, when they want to select lands within what is identified in the agreement-in-principle as Dogrib traditional territory or identified as Dogrib land? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
