Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In clause 4, I would make reference to the agreement itself to 2.7.1(b) that states that no provisions in the agreement shall be construed to effect any treaty right of any aboriginal people other that the Tlicho where the right exists before the provision of the agreement was in effect or any aboriginal rights of aboriginal people other than the Tlicho. I believe that from our legal advice, this provision covers the concern, but for a more specific explanation, Mr. Chairman, I would like to refer to our legal counsel, Mr. Goldney.
