Thank you. I thank them for that response. It clears up a lot. The other one is by passing this "by giving this effect and declared valid and has the force of law," my understanding is that even in this agreement when you look at ratification, it talks to the process being the signatures of all parties and ratification by the Tlicho and then through this government, the signage from the Minister that was given the authority by Executive Council and then coming into force, settlement legislation. Now we are in that process right now being c), the coming into force of territorial settlement legislation. Further on in there, it talks about the federal government and once the federal government passes their law, then the agreement is given effect. Is that not so? Just in response to clause 4, my understanding is that this law is not valid until the federal passage occurs.
