Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We are working to continue to try to improve the outlook as to Aboriginal participation in the agreement-in-principle stage. Since signing the agreement, we have corresponded with all of the leaders to have them come back to the table. I have also corresponded with them in that same communication about going into their region and communities to go over the agreement-in-principle, much like we did up in the Sahtu when we met with the community representatives of Deline, Tulita and Norman Wells. We’re awaiting the next response as to another meeting. I’ve just received correspondence from the Akaitcho that they would like me to be at their Assembly this summer to discuss a number of items. I hope at that point we’ll be able to address the issue of the agreement-in-principle.

The door is open. We have communicated. It’s pretty hard to have additional communications if there’s no response to that offer of meetings. We continue to have it out there. We continue to be open to requests to come into communities to go over that. One of the things we’re doing over and above that is the letter that will be going out soon

on the work plan and inform all the groups of where we’re at, at that stage.
