Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this memorandum of understanding that was signed between the Government of the Northwest Territories and the Gwich'in Tribal Council is the first of its kind and it provides for a framework for how we are going to be negotiating or contracting 50 percent of the value of contracts in the Gwich'in settlement area. The question is will normal Government of Northwest Territories contracting procedures, including the business incentive policy, still apply?
How the Gwich'in MOU will work upon implementation on April 1st will be that we will probably go through some negotiated contracts and perhaps some other contracting process as well. This still has to be determined and the remaining 50 percent will continue to be done through our normal contracting processes such as the public tendering process or the request for proposal which we currently do. Thank you.
