Mr. Speaker, first of all, I want to make it clear that I'm not laying the blame on the aboriginal groups. The Member asked me why and I told him, and that's the reality we're dealing with. We're not blaming anybody. It's the process that we are involved in with the First Nations and the claimant groups. That is where we're at. We could railroad this thing and have it done, but you're going to have written questions afterwards.
You compare us to the Yukon. Yukon is a different story. In the Yukon they have 14 different First Nations, but they're under one umbrella claim that they've come together on in all the areas. Here you have the Inuvialuit land claim, you have the Gwich'in, the Sahtu, the Tlicho who are just going to be formalizing their final agreement, you have the Deh Cho First Nations who are beginning to negotiate, you have Akaitcho, then you have Salt River First Nations, you have the Northwest Territories Metis Nation, North Slave Metis. I'm not putting the blame on anybody, Mr. Speaker, I am saying this is the reality that we're dealing with. Throwing in Nunavut, Nunavut has one claim so it's easy for them to go ahead and do these things, it's quicker. But here we have to deal with all the different aboriginal governments that have their own specific concerns about the Wildlife Act and the management of wildlife and their traditional territories and their traditional rights that they have under their treaties. So it gets a little more complicated and complex, and we're moving as fast as we can on our side and we're consulting with the First Nations and trying to reach agreement. It's slow, but we're making progress. Thank you.
