This process that I’m suggesting has nothing to do with land claims. Obviously once land claims are settled, there’s going to be a whole new governance structure and then they’d be able to own real property in their community. This has nothing to do with that. We would like to try and work with the community. It’s not only to their benefit, it’s to the residents’ benefit that they act as soon as possible so the money can start flowing for capital projects, including dust control. We have many cases of other communities, such as band communities, that have formed, corporations and their capital money has flown to them. Some of them have actually used it for dust control. There are a few communities I know of that have identified funds for chipsealing. These are small communities too. So it’s a benefit to the community and Tu Nedhe. Thank you.
