Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, one of the largest sections of the land claim agreements with the Inuvialuit, the Gwich'in, the Sahtu and the Tlicho is the wildlife provision section. It's a large section. You're looking at almost 24 pages. I think for the government to say, well, it's the system they use in the Yukon. The system they used in the Yukon included the Inuvialuit. The Inuvialuit were able to get their own drafters and lawyers to draft the legislation and present it to the Yukon government. What we're seeing in the practice of this government is that this is a fundamental component of the land claim agreements. It's not something the Department of Justice alone should sit in the back room and deal with. I'd like to ask the Minister, will you meet with the First Nation aboriginal groups that have concerns about this process we're using, especially regarding the Inuvialuit Game Council and the other land claim organizations, to allow them the opportunity to present their case and have their own drafters at the table?
