Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I hope I wasn't giving the intention that we are cuddling up to the federal government on these important decisions here. I guess my point is that, Mr. Speaker, these areas are so important that even our people back home are wondering if there was just only a good gesture in terms of continuing on with developing in our area in terms of resource development. Mr. Speaker, in terms of the Minister's discussions with the Environment Minister regarding the ramparts and other areas that we have interest in the Sahtu and other areas north of that, that their members would speak, at least areas in our communities and our region that have an interest, would we seek interim protection on some of the areas that they don't have that type of protection right now?
