I want to restate, as well, my answer. This is a federal government INAC process. It’s their work. For the most part, they’ve treated the territorial governments and the other groups as stakeholders. The only thing that has now changed is the fact that we’ve signed an agreement-in-principle that indicates that within the next couple of years we’re going to be taking over, as Northerners, jurisdiction and authority over land, water, and resource development and that we don’t want any major surprises. We have our position clear on the website. I can commit to the Member that we can pull together a package of the work that’s been done, the correspondence that’s been shared back and forth, but we have to be very clear that this is not our process. We’ve laid out very clearly our position and the federal government has not fully engaged us on what they intend to do.
