Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just with regard to what Mr. Aumond was saying to the youth corps with the funding for the Take a Kid Trapping Program, some of the communities, such as Tuktoyaktuk, could the RWED office manage the funding to give to the people like for an elder to get the funding? Because the community corps or the hamlet doesn’t want to take on that funding role with regard to the paper trail that has to follow. Could the RWED officer do that?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In regard to the implantation and the two whole thousand dollars you get for implementation of the...(inaudible)...land claim agreements, I’d like to know, is there also a duty to consult in regard to Municipal and Community Affairs. I know you’re presently in the process of reviewing the squatters policy and whatnot and I know this issue has come to the attention of the Minister by way of our Gwich’in leadership meeting in Inuvik in regard to the squatters at Airport Lake in Inuvik in which the Gwich’in are requesting that you have an obligation to consult, especially where their lands are being affected by activities next to the… I’d like to know exactly what obligation does Municipal and Community Affairs have to consult within the land claim agreements, especially when you talk about municipal lands and municipal activities that affect lands that basically an acquire to a land claim agreement.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. With respect to the land lease use and policy, we have invited them to be a part of the process. We do plan on consulting with them and also with the area in question. I think the lake borders the Gwich’in claim, so there’s going to be a committee of Gwich’in, Municipal and Community Affairs and the Town as to how to best manage the development along the lake. We are consulting with the Gwich’in. Thank you.

In regards to the agreements, like I mentioned, the duty to consult, again, there are activities that MACA does in which they have an obligation to consult. Again, there are lands in the community which are called municipal lands which were selected under the land claim agreements. There are lands in the Sahtu. There are lands in the

Gwich’in. I’d just like to know how do you deal with those lands which are negotiated under the land claim agreements within municipal boundaries.

I noted that your last year mains you requested $2,000 and you ended up spending $12,000. I’d like to know what was the additional $10,000 for.

Aumond

Really this money, we get $2,000 a year, and if we don’t spend it the money carries over, which is why you will see in the 2010-11 main estimates it’s $2,000 but the revised mains are $12,000. If we don’t spend that money, basically it’s just for paying of gravel royalties, and if the gravel royalties aren’t requested, then we carry that money over from one year to the next. Thank you.

Again, for clarification, royalties? What royalties did you have to pay for the remaining $12,000?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It’s just money that we pay to the Gwich’in if we take any gravel or sand from their claim area. Thank you.
