Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we are doing the work right now, but the question is to go back to an era before becoming familiar with this file. However, my understanding is that the work seriously started in the life of this government. Prior to that, there was no real political will. There were lots of disagreements out there with the aboriginal governments and those who haven't settled their claims have to be considered as well. In the life of this government, we seriously undertook to try to have legislation passed in the life of this government. My recollection of my involvement has been that. Roughly, the Gwich'in agreement came into place in 1992 and the Sahtu was in 1994. So we are a little bit behind schedule, but it's legislation that needs to be done right. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
