Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Clearly, this Assembly is very interested and concerned about water. We passed a motion in the 15th Assembly where we are the only

jurisdiction in Canada that may consider water a basic human right, so we have met that. We are very concerned about the issue of water in this Assembly. We have come forward with the water strategy that is underway, and it is going to be unique. We have worked with the aboriginal governments to do that as well. We worked at reviving the Mackenzie River Basin Board and trying to put the issue of watershed management on the list to get the board together with the Ministers to have some serious discussion about water.

As well, we are working on a land use framework as a territorial government that will allow us to better address the very many planning concerns, in addition to the commitment that we have as one of the partners in the Protected Area Strategy.
