Thank you, Madam Chair. First of all, I’d like to thank all the Members who gave positive comments and indicated their support for this bill. I’ll address some of the questions that were posed.
With regard to whether it’s a government in its own right, when this bill comes into effect it will be a self-government among the Sahtu Dene and Metis of Deline, the Government of the Northwest Territories and the Government of Canada. So this means the Deline Got’ine Government will be a government in its own right.
With regards to questions on regulations, there are no plans to introduce regulations at this time. The Government of Canada has indicated that they will introduce federal legislation to this bill into effect as soon as possible after it is passed in this Legislative Assembly.
With regards to how this self-government government agreement and Deline will affect individual MLAs, I don’t see it affecting them significantly. The Deline Got’ine Government will take on existing responsibilities, and as we go forward, they can call down further responsibilities.
With regards to Deline Got’ine Government governance, they will take over responsibilities for the Deline Land Corp and will continue to function as part of the Sahtu Dene-Metis Comprehensive Claim. But through you, Madam Chair, I’ll ask the negotiator to go into more detail, Mr. Talen. Thank you, Madam Chair.
