We remain, the Government of the Northwest Territories remains committed to the negotiation process coming to a conclusion with the Dehcho First Nations around the Dehcho process. That’s a set of negotiations that is ongoing. There are a number of other factors that have come to the table as well. For example, ADK has now opted out and want to do their own process. Once that happens we have to decide if we engage at that level as well. We know from past history that not all the time have the federal government negotiators had the best interest of Northerners at heart when it comes to this table, so we have to be at the tables that get established. As I stated, we are committed to the negotiations process and reaching an agreement with the Dehcho First Nations around that process. That is why there have been a number of departments involved in the Dehcho Land Use Plan and working through that avenue as well.
