I guess I’m wondering if it is possible for the AIP to go into a devolution agreement without the participation of this group that I refer to, the two groups of the Treaty 8 and Treaty 11 people that are treaty Indians under the Treaty 8 and Treaty 11 within the Northwest Territories. I guess specifically I’m looking at the resource revenue sharing. On the resource revenue sharing, if you took all of the land quantums in the Northwest Territories, then all of it with the exception of the piece that’s near the Beaufort-Delta is land that has been either negotiated or under negotiation. I recognize that there are lands within the treaties, or not the treaties but land claims. In Gwich’in they settled their land claims and so did the Sahtu, Tlicho. Dehcho and Akaitcho are not settled. If you add all of those five areas up it essentially covers the whole Northwest Territories except for, like I said, the area that is claimed by the Inuvialuit. I’m wondering how we could get beyond or even to an AIP stage without the
participation of all of the landowners. How could the Government of the Northwest Territories, which was essentially municipal lands is the area that the Government of the Northwest Territories has jurisdiction over. Then the federal government and the Aboriginal governments that I speak of have jurisdictions over all other lands within the Northwest Territories. How can such important governments or Aboriginal governments be left off of signing the AIP? How could that happen? How could someone even sign something? If those guys are not at the table, how would that be signed? It would be like you’re going into somebody else’s house and you’re agreeing to divide up the property. I am wondering how that came about and how that is possible. I recognize a call for those guys to come to the table. The call wasn’t answered, but I am wondering how that would be possible. I’m just trying to figure out the possibilities of even signing a final devolution agreement without the original landowners being involved.
