The department has no more community planners within the regional offices. Most of the community planning is done within the communities themselves, and if they do have someone that they bring from outside the community, I’m sure the community will school them quite quickly on the land claims. Because it’s our intent, and I think it’s been proven in the past, that all departments take the land claims quite seriously and there’s a consultation process that needs to take place in any decisions that may have an effect on the land claims. But again I point out the fact that the land claims are federal legislation and nothing that we do in this act will extinguish any rights at all. Thank you.
