Mr. Chairman, Aboriginal Affairs and Intergovernmental Relations plays a number of roles here as well as other departments. For example, we are one party at the table. The Department of Justice is another party at the table and then each specific department. For example, we will use the Gwich’in Territorial Park. We would have ITI at the table on that matter as well. So there would be three parties at the table. Aboriginal Affairs and Intergovernmental Relations would work informing the appropriate departments of their responsibility under the claim that they would follow the claim process.
Further to that, one of the things we have done and we have put on the leadership table as well is the consultation framework document where all departments are now, through Aboriginal Affairs and Intergovernmental Affairs and through this budget as well, expanding the role of one of our positions to deal with the consultation framework and working with the organizations and the Government of the Northwest Territories when it comes to fulfilling its obligation of consultation with aboriginal governments and groups on the work that is being done, on the legislation that is on the ground, on the agreements that haven’t been signed. For example, any court case across the country that has further defied aboriginal rights in Canada is stuff we work on and prepare for information when we talk about matters in the Northwest Territories and we work with departments on making sure that that is recognized. Thank you.
