The cost for all of the parties are intended to cover things like the meetings themselves, the organization of the meetings, the participation in the meetings and any participation

that’s undertaken as a result of that council that might request that any of the parties undertake cooperative work. So we do expect that there will be some cost related to these efforts.

Aboriginal parties themselves are receiving ongoing funding as a result of the devolution totalling $3 million a year, divided among them depending on how many Aboriginal parties are there. So we do expect that they will be afforded some capacity to participate in the Intergovernmental Council.

Similarly, from the GNWT’s A-base and the funding that was provided to the Devolution Agreement, there is added capacity to the Government of the Northwest Territories to participate in this council as well.
