Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We are following the land lease-only policy. The land lease-only policy does not provide for an absolute freeze on land, but it does, consistent with the interim measures agreement with the Akaitcho and the federal government, provide for a process we have to go through in consultation where there is going to be a transfer of land. Mr. Speaker, we have been following that diligently and in no way have been circumventing our own policies or negotiating in bad faith. Mr. Speaker, we are following all of the agreements we have in place. We follow our own policy; we follow the interim measures agreement. Mr. Speaker, just one correction for the Member is that we have agreed to the interim land withdrawal protocol as of November 2005. But what has happened is there has been no interim land withdrawals, so there's nothing the protocol can apply to until there are some withdrawals. So, Mr. Speaker, we need to move along to that step at the negotiating table
and we're certainly prepared to do that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
