Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The whole issue around traditional knowledge, again, a couple of years ago there was no traditional knowledge coordination position in the Government of the Northwest Territories. All we had was the Traditional Knowledge Policy. Under Managing this Land Strategic Initiatives, we got some funding to develop a position, a coordinator of traditional knowledge. From there we developed and we looked at and reviewed the policy, we developed a number of cross-government, interdepartmental things as far as the best practices guidelines, an implementation plan, an annual report that is funded particularly here. So a lot of the money under the strategic initiatives for traditional knowledge is to build that coordination position, and we also use a lot of it to hold workshops and we’re continuing to hold workshops in particular regions to develop that relationship with the holders of traditional knowledge in various regions among various tribal groups. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
