Again, Mr. Chair, there are land claims agreements in the Northwest Territories. There are three claimant groups that basically have not signed on -- the Gwich’in, the Sahtu, and the Tlicho -- which makes up almost two-thirds of the settlement of the Northwest Territories. I’d like to know, as a government, and I have a letter from one of the former federal Ministers basically making it clear that he would not negotiate provincial-like powers to the Government of the Northwest Territories if there are large parts of the territory who do not want to be included in this process, regardless of who they are, and that, again, can’t happen.
I’d like to know exactly what is this government going to do. Will you consider negotiating with those groups that have signed on and not with those… If you’re not going to have those groups that have not signed on have that opportunity to partake in this process, that you’d exclude those areas from this process and you only negotiate with the Inuvialuit and the Metis.
