Mr. Chairman, under the agreement, as has been noted, the Tlicho gain certain law-making authorities and can deliver programming to Tlicho people. What they've agreed to through the intergovernmental services agency, as the Minister noted, is to deliver those larger social envelope programming to all residents through an agency established through our legislation. For the first 10-year period things will operate in that respect, much the same way as they do today through the Dogrib Community Services Board. The Tlicho have the ability to make laws, deliver programs for Tlicho people in future. The funding of those programs in future, I guess it's unknown at this point. One option would be the GNWT could vacate the education dollars, for example, for Tlicho citizens and the Tlicho could take those over. There's no obligation to doing that, but that's one that could be envisioned could flow through us. I hope that answers the Member's question, Mr. Chairman.
