Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the area the Member goes into, he’s well aware, he’s negotiated for claims processes through the Sahtu and the Gwich’in as well, and he’s familiar with the legislation that we operate under. He’s been a Member of this Legislative Assembly for as long as I have, since 1995, and we know we both sit in this forum because of the NWT Act. I recall when my father was given the right to vote as well.

The issue that we have here is that we haven’t gone and dug out some piece of legislation that sat there. It is a part of the NWT Act. It is a part of an amendment the federal government made as it transferred the authority to the North and considered the possibilities of this situation. So we have the NWT Act that puts it in place, whether it is the legislative branch, the executive branch, the judicial branch, it puts it in place. We have within that the acts that have been transferred down to us and the authorities, so the Wildlife Act is one of those.

As Minister Miltenberger pointed out, we have been working through quite a number of years with our aboriginal partners in the North to up that piece of legislation, because we recognize, for example, the Tlicho Government is in place now, we recognize the land claim agreements that are in place now, and we need to update that. It is the area we have the most complex situation, is in the unsettled areas. For example, we have a clear process in the Gwich’in, the Inuvialuit, the Sahtu and the Tlicho. It is the unsettled areas where we have more of a complex procedure and arrangements and we’re continuing to try to work through those. Thank you.
