Mr. Speaker, this is a new approach. In looking at this through the negotiation of this MOU, we asked a lot of questions. We want to do the right thing for the people who are going to be affected who are not with the Gwich'in. We want to make certain that they know what the implications are and that in talking with the president of the Gwich'in Tribal Council that he understands that and that he is willing to look at ways on how to implement it that would be acceptable for the businesses up in the Inuvik region.
