Mahsi, Mr. Chairman. Joe just answered one of my questions already. I was just going to ask questions on the other $100,000 that he was talking about, but that's already covered.
I guess I just want to ask a quick question on the autonomy and the authority and the mandate of the Aboriginal Affairs department versus the Aboriginal Summit with intergovernmental relations and resource revenue sharing and devolution. I know that when the summit was formed by this government a few years ago, it was probably the easiest way to deal with all aboriginal governments under one roof or on one table. Now that the tri-governmental relationships are ongoing, there seems to be a lot of, there's more differences, I guess, with the territorial government's negotiations and what the territorial government wants to get out of the negotiations and the devolution agreements, versus what the summit wants to get and versus what the federal government wants to give. With this growing rift between what the summit is more or less leaning towards and what the GNWT wants to get out of the Intergovernmental Forum is our issues on, I guess, direct resource revenue payments to who is going to accept them and how much is it going to be. I just want to know if this money, this $830,000 that's going to go to these regional governments to find out how they want to participate in the Intergovernmental Forum with the Aboriginal Summit being their point of contact, I guess, with the other negotiations parties. If these regional governments start pulling out and saying we don't want to go through this Aboriginal Summit forum and work with the GNWT that way, we want to go on one-on-one or on our own with the federal government, but some, say, you know, half of the aboriginal governments decide to stay with the Aboriginal Summit, then there's going to be a whole new, I don't know, can of worms that the GNWT is going to have to start dealing with, I guess, before any devolution or resource revenue sharing agreement comes to fruition. That's my whole point. When or how, does the GNWT have a plan B or a plan C in place, say, to deal with the different scenarios that might be coming up when this resource revenue devolution starts getting closer to just being resolved, I guess, just on a framework agreement? If the pipeline starts going and gets constructed before anything is actually signed, is there a plan to address that issue to say, geez, you know, we haven't got any resource revenue deal signed yet on the dotted line, but the pipeline is already starting to be built and how are we going to deal with it that way? Is there any contingency plans that the government has in place to address all these unknowns? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
