I think one of the fundamental elements that are missing, especially in the majority of the region which there’s only one region that has a land use plan through their land use planning commission planning process, which is the Gwich’in Settlement Region, but again that whole system of land use plans is a tool that can be used by the different management authorities to help them and assist them in making those decisions.

I’d like to ask the Minister exactly why it is that this government is not supporting land use plans where they’re presently being integrated, and supporting the Dehcho and Sahtu in integrating their land use plans into the system.
