Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister responsible for ITI. It’s in regards to my Member’s statement and the memorandum of understanding we have with the Gwich’in Tribal Council, and also the meeting that took place a week and a half ago in regards to the commitment that we have within those agreements to have ongoing meetings with the Gwich’in Tribal Council, its leadership, and its business community. Yet, Mr. Speaker, after talking to the president of the tribal council and a couple of the aboriginal leaders, there was very little by way of content at that meeting and information from this government to share in regards to the assessment that we have done over the years.
So, Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister, knowing that this agreement expires March 31st , 2008, which is
four months down the road, and they have to come up with the renewal of a new agreement for April 1st this
coming year, so I’d like to ask the Minister, has he received a report back in regards to this meeting and what are we doing to basically look at the evaluation of this agreement?
