Thank you, Mr. Chair. Are these meetings meant to continue, or will this Intergovernmental Council be fulfilling the roles of these intergovernmental meetings here? I guess, as well, how is the funding going to work for the Intergovernmental Council in relation to this? Perhaps they’re the same thing. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Those are two separate things. This is the deal with the Aboriginal governments themselves. The Intergovernmental Council is primarily a land administration body with which the federal government is providing up to $3 million for funding it. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just a brief question for the Minister. I know earlier we discussed having an office similar to this put in place in Ottawa with a position also to help fill the relationship with the federal government and lobby on our behalf. So I’d like to ask the Minister if those plans are still moving forward. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, it’s still our intention to do so. We presently have one person in the Ottawa office that we contract, a consultant to help us with intergovernmental relations and we’ve not come to the conclusion yet that we would staff it with a political person at this time, but we will continue to operate an office in Ottawa. Thank you.
