Mr. Speaker, last week the very big news that came out of Indian and Northern Affairs that the largest parcels of land in the Northwest Territories were up for grabs: 11 parcels in the Sahtu, a couple of parcels in the Mackenzie Delta and I think there’s a parcel up in the Beaufort Sea. This is historical, Mr. Speaker. I want to ask the Minister of ITI, in light of these bids that are going up that have been an issue in a nine-year period, what is ITI doing to anticipate possibly a big boom in terms of oil and gas exploration and development?
