Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the issue of trespassers on Commissioner's land has been something that has been a going concern for some while; since, I believe, 1994. We had enforcement for people who trespassed on Commissioner's land. However, as a result of the moratorium on land sales and the lack of resources and staff to provide enforcement, it has been something that has not been on the forefront. We haven't done a lot of work in this area. Recently, we've engaged in discussions with the federal government, DIAND staff, and we are also talking with the Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs and ourselves to put together a working group to look at this whole issue of trespassers on the Ingraham Trail, Highway No. 3 and other parts of the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
