Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is a follow-up to my Member's statement with regard to the signing of the memorandum of understanding between this government and the Gwich'in Tribal Council. Mr. Speaker, these agreements are part and parcel of what flows from the land claim agreements on economic measures and also looking at government contracting policies and procedures. One thing we hear a lot about is why do they negotiate these types of agreements. Mr. Speaker, I think it's fair. There are still 50 percent of the contracts going out to public tender. I would like to ask the Minister, could the Minister elaborate on how that 50 percent is going to be dictated and what's the process to deal with the other 50 percent?
