The information that the Minister has may be correct. I’ve wanted to ask him in terms of there’s no outstanding issues that he’s noted here solely about the CANOL Trail and in terms of implementation of the CANOL Heritage Trail, the park, the issues may be discussed right now. The government may think it’s not an outstanding issue, but it’s an ongoing issue that’s through an implementation process that the parties may have different views. The Sahtu may have a different view than the government, but it’s in the process of the full implementation to where we’d like to see it. I’m working closely with the Minister of ITI to look at these issues. They are quite complex. That’s where we have a different view of what’s outstanding and what’s not settled yet. I guess generally the Minister may be correct in terms of within that frame of the CANOL Heritage Trail there are outstanding issues here for us. That’s where I guess I’m digging a little more in. That’s kind of what I want to look into. I know there’s lots of work. The federal government certainly does play a big part in this specific issue here. The territorial government certainly has a role in it. I’m asking the Minister in terms of the implementation and maybe I’ll ask a little bit more in terms of where he deems that there’s no outstanding issues. There are other issues that still need to be concluded by the Sahtu Secretariat and he is correct that parties are named, issues are put on the table for discussion and they signed off on issues. The Minister is totally correct on that and certainly that requires three heads working together to see what the true meaning is of this certain part of the land claim agreement.
That’s the type of information I’m hoping the Minister can provide. I’m not too sure if he can, but some information on that would be appreciated to see where we can conclude some of these
agreements where we feel in the Sahtu are concluded. The government may then also sign off on them as concluded deals. That’s what I’m looking for.
Chapter 12 in our agreement on economic measures is being implemented. Again, the Minister of ITI and myself have been looking at this with the Sahtu Settlement Secretariat in terms of the memorandum of understanding on economic measures. Certainly there are issues there. We feel that because we signed an MOU last year with Mr. Handley and I think the Minister at that time was Mr. Brendan Bell, we thought the MOU was an issue that was outstanding that maybe had been concluded. But we haven’t finished baking the cake yet in terms of the ingredients of this MOU. That’s what I’m looking for. Where we can work with this department and this Minister on some of the implementation. We may have started, but we haven’t done it yet. We’ve just started the journey on implementation. I want to ask the Minister regarding these big ticket items that are possibly holding up some of the programs and services in our communities.
