Madam Chair, our department is working very closely with the Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs pertaining to the issues you were just raising with regard to land acquisition, particularly Commissioner's land. The process that we have in place is very simple. Our officials at MACA, city officials and also the Akaitcho Territory officials, particularly the Yellowknives First Nation are, on a regular basis, meeting and discussing the issues pertaining to land. The agreement that is in place now is supposed to be a schedule C attached to it, but, unfortunately, that particular schedule G, which would identify the areas that the First Nations want versus which areas that the city wants has now been concluded. Currently, the First Nations and the City of Yellowknife and my department officials are currently talking and trying to resolve that whole issue today. Thank you.
