Yes, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, once again, I would like to thank the Members for reporting this very important bill back to the House. There are concerns that have been raised by the Members and the committee as well as here. I am sure we are going to hear that and we are prepared to answer any specific questions. This is an extraordinary approach. I just want to say a normal government bill is something that's developed by government and goes through a normal process. This is a different type of approach. It's a land claims agreement that's already signed with the federal government and the Tlicho government and the Tlicho people. It's here for us to look at and we will do whatever we can to provide the different answers to the different questions that come forth. Thank you.
