Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, a couple of questions for the Minister in terms of the implementation process. There are various views on implementing these land claim agreements and also some of the self-government agreements and the agreement that’s been settled with the Tlicho. I want more focus on the Sahtu land claim implementation process and the certain chapters in the agreement itself. I know there are some challenges with the federal government, however, I want to thank the Minister. Prior to Christmas, he instructed his staff to get in contact with me to have some discussions around implementation issues and I didn’t follow through and I wanted to thank him for making that offer to me. So I know that he’s a man of his word when he said he was going to work with me on this issue here.
So I wanted to ask the Minister in terms of the implementation and some of the concerns we recently have in terms of some of the other issues we don’t foresee in terms of the CANOL Trail Heritage Park implementation. It’s been a while, so I know there are other issues in terms of how do we start implementing this park here. There are progressions going towards it.
I’d like to ask the Minister in terms of the implementation on the overall Sahtu Land Claim Agreement. It’s a 15-year mark in terms of our agreement. Can the Minister provide to me an update in terms of the implementation process in the Sahtu on the chapters that we are responsible for as the Government of the Northwest Territories and if there are other areas that need to be looked at in terms of full implementation? Our obligation. I don’t want to hammer on the federal government because that has to be done through the Sahtu Secretariat. In terms of the GNWT’s obligations with the implementation.
