The reasoning is the fact that ITI has the responsibility for parks. And the legislation for parks has provided this tool to help establish conservation areas and so on. I think people in the Northwest Territories feel it has been long overdue, whereby our government does need tools so we can establish and protect areas that are important to the people in the Northwest Territories. That was the rationale for putting it with ITI.
