Mr. Speaker, the concern from the aboriginal groups that I’ve been talking to is that under the land claim agreements we have water rights provisions; we have, basically, land and water provisions; we have the surface rights provisions; we have land use planning provisions. All those provisions are basically supposed to be part of the devolution process so that when the devolution process will be concluded, you will have a working relationship with landowners throughout the Northwest Territories from the aboriginal landowners to the Crown holders and making sure that all the parameters of those agreements are basically intact and they’re working in regard to a new land and water regime in the Northwest Territories.
So again I’d like to ask the Premier, because I think a lot of the discussion has been around royalties, royalties, royalties. Everybody sees dollar signs. But this agreement is more than dollar signs; it’s dealing with lands, waters, and the management of resources in the Northwest Territories. So again, I’d like to ask the Premier why is it that the government is refusing to allow aboriginal groups to sit at the table and negotiate those elements of the agreements, which is very much a part of this devolution process to ensure that those elements are in the agreement going forward.
