Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, Mr. Speaker, I have to take it that from all the Members in this House, there was only the Minister of RWED that was involved in these negotiations then. Mr. Speaker, it's a very uncomfortable situation in a constituency meeting when you are asked questions and you know nothing about it and it's a policy and agreement that has been signed on behalf of this government. I was also very interested in a letter that came back to all Members with regard to this issue and it states in that letter that an MOU is not binding on this government or the Gwich'in Tribal Council. If it's not binding on any party, I would question why was there a need to sign this memorandum of understanding.
