Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, with regard to the policy of the Government of the Northwest Territories, our concern there through the policy is even though it's under federal jurisdiction, we want to make sure we are heard and that we participate in a lot of discussions with DFO when it comes to dealing with Great Slave Lake and the fishing that takes place. There is the Great Slave Lake Advisory Board who we work with and through. There are opportunities for representation on that board, although Kakisa and Hay River Reserve are not involved in the advisory board. They must have their own reasons why they don't want to participate, but I think it's an opportunity for them to participate in that area. Getting back to the policy regarding resource management, we want to only encourage and advise DFO to work with the communities and that has basically been our role. Thank you.
