Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and it arises out of the discussions we've been having about the different governments around the Yellowknife area applying for permits and land use and such. It is a very complicated field and I think that most people in the Yellowknife area and most people in the Territories know that various aboriginal groups are in the process of negotiating land claims and self-government agreements and that there are implications for non-aboriginal residents. I think it is incumbent on the Government of the Northwest Territories, as the public government, to facilitate opportunities for people to understand what's going on; not just specifically what's happening with the Yellowknives and the City of Yellowknife. I guess I'm asking specifically to that. I'm wondering if the Minister has any plans to conduct a public information session in Yellowknife so that people can understand what's going on, what land is being talked about, whether it's for identification, selection, and what it means for the non-claimant people. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
