Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The practice has been for the communities to process the applications that come forward with their comments. In this case, this is an area that has unsettled claims. There is an interim measures agreement that we also have to follow. We have not historically granted any land without the city's permission. We didn't intend to do that in this case either. But the request that came forward was permission to access and was our decision to make. We decided to allow the Yellowknives Dene to have access to this land to do some testing in order to determine whether the land is suitable. Thank you.
