There have been very few amendments under the MVRMA in 21 years. It started off with the Gwich'in land claim agreement, that's where it came out of; it was born out of there, and then the Sahtu, they had to make some amendments to accommodate the Sahtu claim, and then the Tlicho.

If you recall the huge confrontation about bringing all the regional land and water boards into one board, making what people call a super board, we never use that term. The government of the day, the Harper government, did pass some legislation to create one board, and that was challenged. In that process also, the land and water boards put through a wish list of amendments that they were looking for for years, and that was put forth also at the same time.

Fortunately or unfortunately, however you look at it, the Tlicho government took the federal government to court and it stopped all the amendments and now their territorial government is involved in trying to undo that with the feds, to reinstate the regional boards. When that is accomplished, the Tlicho will drop their court action and those amendments that were put forth that are on hold because of court action will go forward. We're told with hopefully a few more that we'd like to see. The territorial government has taken a big role in that thanks to the Premier in discussion with the Minister of INAC, and the ADM from Lands, Kate Hearn, is the lead for the territorial government on the negotiations going forward. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
