It’s very difficult to go back in history to when an agreement was made verbally between the director-of-the-day, maybe under federal jurisdiction. What we have committed to in these areas where there are outstanding issues around IBA lands is looking at an avenue of trying to engage the federal government in settling these outstanding concerns about transfers, IBA lands and what it mean in some of our communities. So we are engaging in that and going to try to see if there is an avenue that we can work on and bring this to a conclusion. I can’t guarantee one way or another, but we are trying to work with the aboriginal government and chiefs in the Northwest Territories to look at an avenue where we can approach the federal government to bring some conclusion to this. Thank you.
