Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Premier in regard to a letter that was written to the Premier back on April 19th ,
some six months ago, from the president of the Gwich’in Tribal Council outlining concerns that they’ve had in regard to the devolution process and elements that they feel are critical to making sure that the agreements that we do negotiate for devolution include some of these aspects, regardless of division of powers and responsibilities. We’re looking at the distribution of revenues in regard to how the existing different agreements reflect the population of a specific area and also the effects that resource development has in certain parts of the Territories where those resources are coming from.
Mr. Speaker, I think it’s important that we do everything we can to accommodate those organizations and groups to ensure that we get them on side. I’d just like to ask the Premier, have you received the letter and when are you intending to respond to this letter. From my understanding, there hasn’t been a response to date. Thank you.
