I am just looking from the perspective of my own region, Mr. Chairman. The land claim negotiation is the first to have been settled. Now you are looking at the self-government negotiations in Deline, Tulita, Norman Wells, and Fort Good Hope. I know they are in exploratory. Fort Good Hope may be in exploratory negotiations and Colville Lake is certainly entertaining the idea of self-government. The different issues of the different communities with the amount of negotiations going on I certainly look at and that is just only one region. I am not talking about the Mackenzie Delta, Beaufort region or any other tables that are presently being entertained by this government right now.
Mr. Chairman, I guess I am looking at the number of negotiators at the head of the table of this government here. I certainly am advocating or pushing for more negotiators for our region here, regions that need to be having more attention paid to the issues because of the number of negotiating tables going on.
Mr. Chairman, these four active negotiators I guess I need to ask. Are they from the Northwest Territories? Are these negotiators from outside the Northwest Territories? Do these negotiators have experience with negotiating with aboriginal governments? Are there any senior negotiators that are within this four here that are from the Northwest Territories aboriginal?
