Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker I, too, have concerns similar to my colleague, Mr. Dent, about the Wildlife Act amendments. I find it ironic sitting here how time moves, but doesn't seem to change. Mr. Speaker, in 1994, when the Wildlife Act was amended to allow for the Inuvialuit Final Agreement to be enacted, at that time there was a question made by the committee that oversaw the amendment to the Wildlife Act. Why is it that the Gwich'in claim, that was settled in 1992 and the Sahtu claim, which was settled in 1994, was not considered in this review? Mr. Speaker, at the time the comment was, because they were going to do them in the previous years, not do them collectively, altogether at one time. Based on the comments from the Premier I'd like to ask, is that opportunity still available to the Gwich'in or Sahtu groups who have land claims obligations to enact their wildlife provisions to bring them into law?
