Mr. Chair, the unauthorized use of land or land development, especially in the settlement areas is clearly defined land occupancy for people out there. I appreciate the Minister working closely with the rightful owners of land settlements.
Is he working closely with the Department of ENR? I know ENR in the past has been cataloguing where cabin owners are, whether they’re Aboriginal cabin owners or non-Aboriginal cabin owners. What areas of the land in the Sahtu are being used? Is the Minister working closely with them in regards to identifying some of the unauthorized use of land or land development by people? This is pretty specific, but there are also areas where the use of land isn’t
being properly authorized by either governments, and people seem to have free will as to what they can do on these lands here. Thank you.
