I thank the Member for that question. It just reinforces what we’re trying to do here is very complex. In the situation in the Sahtu we need to find a suitable fix for the Bear River. Yes, we have to respect the language in the land claim, certainly a solution there. Again, I mentioned earlier meeting with the new chief and the president of the land corporation. There are solutions out there; we just haven’t found the right one. Perhaps this new one they’ve brought to our attention is something, I know they’re excited about it, maybe that’s going to be the remedy there and the way forward. We will continue to work, and work with the community and the people in the Sahtu to develop that resource.
