Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Our government's intention is to respect all of those areas that either have some protection to the claims or have been identified through the Protected Areas Strategy as well as other interests people may have for spiritual sites or culturally important sites. So we will have some form of interim protection of those. They fit into a number of different categories.
Mr. Speaker, I can tell you that, in my discussions with the federal Minister of Environment as well, he is committed to a balanced approach. We have protected areas and we also have areas that are open for development. I believe he is sincere in working with ourselves as well as the aboriginal leaders who were very influential in having the agreement yesterday. Chief Neyelle and others were influential at having that happen, and, presently, Roy Andre.
Mr. Speaker, I think we have a good model. We had a good start yesterday. I look forward to working closely on all of these. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
