Thank you, Madam Chair. First, let me say that's very positive news to hear those types of revelations are coming forward. If I may compliment first, on the atlas GIS system. I have heard a little more about that and I am going to take the Minister up on his invitation. One of the people working on that happens to be one of my constituents, as well as a former employee of the City of Yellowknife when I used to be a councillor. I knew he was being scooped and moving on to help work on a big, broad-based program that will do a lot for all of us. I am very interested and I appreciate the invitation from the Minister.
Could the Minister explain when this report will come forward so all Regular Members will be able to see the recommendations from that? I want to stress its importance and value. I don't know if all people here recognize that switching from the existing lease to fee simple in settled areas is a significant step for people's lives out there. It creates a lot of surety.
The Minister did refer strictly to settled land claim areas, if I understood him correctly. I can't speak on behalf of Inuvik or Hay River or elsewhere in this particular case, but I can speak for the City of Yellowknife, with my experience, noting that the land claims in our area haven't been concluded. That causes me some small bit of concern because this could mean still many, many years ahead with the City of Yellowknife wanting to access land for further development. I am looking for some type of surety that the streamlining process or the consultant's report may have some indication on how to aid the City of Yellowknife accessing more land for future growth. Can the Minister respond to that? Thank you, Madam Chair.
