Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think Members know by policy decision of this government, we engaged with the Gwich'in to sit down and talk about an MOU that would see the GTC represent companies in the Gwich'in settlement region and there would be targets for procurement in that region. At the same time, we made the commitment some years ago in the past government to do likewise in the Sahtu region. We have now sat down to start these discussions with SSI, who will be the umbrella group representing the MOU. We have provided them with a contribution to sit down and do some policy development work and also identify beneficiary companies. So we are into this now and have started those discussions. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
