Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Department of Education, Culture and Employment is responsible for licensing all scientific research that takes place in the Northwest Territories. So through that licensing process, we would expect that we would gain an understanding of the scientific research that's taking place. Part of the licensing process requires that the
scientists who are applying for the licence commit to reporting back on what information they have found. We also expect, as part of the application process, that they will advise us of how they are going to involve the local communities and how they will report to local communities, because we expect the scientists who participate in research in the North will also find a way to bring local communities and traditional knowledge into their work.
