Thanks, Mr. Chair. I just am wondering, on the 2013-2014 numbers, how 18, 18, 18 becomes 19 at the bottom in the left-hand column.

Bob Bromley

Bob Bromley Weledeh

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would like to pick up here where I started earlier on the questions with respect to the Intergovernmental Council on Land and Resource Management. The Minister indicated that the department will be coordinating the activities of this structure, and it notes here that the division will be providing support to this structure. This is still a somewhat obscure structure for Members, certainly for myself and members of the public, that needs to be developed. I am wondering if I can find out what will be the role of this new structure. Thank you.

Martin Goldney

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The role of the new structure really is another intergovernmental forum where Aboriginal governments and the public government that have land management responsibilities can meet at least once a year and have those very important discussions about how we are undertaking our land and resource management responsibilities. We do

very much see this as an opportunity to work with our Aboriginal government partners, find ways to harmonize our approaches towards land and resource management, and make things more effective and efficient for all. It is also an opportunity for areas for potential capacity building and capacity sharing to be explored.

The way that we imagine this working, and plan for this to be working, is very much similar to our other intergovernmental forums, where you have elected leaders and representatives from the Government of the Northwest Territories and their counterparts in Aboriginal governments having those discussions. There is the potential for working groups to be established as a result of those discussions and specific projects to be advanced. This really is an intergovernmental forum and an intergovernmental council. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
