Under the socio-economic
agreement that we negotiated, an advisory board will be established which will receive annual reports
on actions taken to optimize beneficial opportunities and suggest changes to addressing issues. For that alone we think it’s important to get set up and get started ahead of the board. We have consulted, and the Gwich’in and Inuvialuit have formally agreed to participate on the advisory board. Discussions are still ongoing with the Sahtu and Deh Cho First Nation. Our next steps would include applying for the establishment of the certification of the advisory board under the NWT Societies Act. It was our expectation that the board would be formally established by the middle of 2008–09. That was the expectation of all the parties to the socio-economic agreement.
