Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Minister mentioned the last claims and self-government discussions and there is proof that those are working, Mr. Speaker, because in the Beaufort-Delta, the Minister mentioned all the activity that is there and the contracts being issued. On the Inuvialuit side when work is on the Inuvialuit settlement lands, it's the aboriginal companies that have first dibs on it. Many companies have formed to take advantage of that, but it's in the community where the government has its impact and now we are saying that part of that as well is you need to have aboriginal backing and ownership to be able to get that. So is that what we are telling companies now in the Northwest Territories?
