Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this is a question that we addressed at the beginning of the life of this Assembly. It was an agreement with the federal government, the aboriginal governments and the Government of the Northwest Territories that we would establish a forum to begin discussions with the purpose of advancing, in real terms, economic development such as the pipeline, but as well devolution and revenue-sharing talks. It would be a government-to-government-to-government basis. It was discussed at the time. The federal government, the aboriginal governments and our government agreed there would be three governments involved in the discussions. We would see that the municipal governments, which are creatures of the territorial government, we would ensure that they would be involved and made aware of the discussions and the issues that were addressed. We will find some way to extend to them some involvement, but not direct involvement. That was what the agreement was. Thank you.
