Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in regards to not enacting this enabling legislation, it has put a real hindrance on the whole development of the Northwest Territories. Without having this legislation passed, the Gwich'in wildlife boards and the Sahtu wildlife boards cannot carry out their obligations. We have wildlife officers that cannot carry out obligations that they have under the land claim agreements because they don't have that legislative responsibility. So I'd like to ask the Minister if this legislation is important to the development of the Northwest Territories. I would like to ask the Minister, since you mentioned you were going to introduce something in June, can we introduce legislation in the September sitting?
