Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair, and I do not think I will use the whole 10 minutes, but I can respond by saying that I am very pleased with the progress that we are making with regard to negotiation of land claims and self-government agreements. In almost every instance we are making significant progress, and I expect that, by that end of the 18th Legislative Assembly, we will have significantly advanced every land claim and every self-government to the point where they are almost all concluded, and I look forward to that.

With regard to self-government, the second self-government agreement and the first self-government community, we are working very well with Deline. We have an implementation committee that is advancing very smoothly and implementing their self-government land claim. As part of the resolving and making progress on land claims, we have two MSR reports that we expect will be submitted within the next week or so, and the Government of Canada and ourselves will sit down and work on a path forward and we will engage with the Aboriginal governments. I think we have had very good discussions with both the Akaitcho, the NWT Metis Nation, and the Deh Cho First Nations. So we have changed our new approach and I think that with that with the MSR reports that will allow us to move forward.

On the GSOs, we are very pleased with the GSOs. I think that we are continuously making progress. We have pilot projects with the Government of Canada in three communities where they are funding the costs and in three communities where we provide services on behalf of the federal government. So we expect, once the pilot project is done, we will be able to assess it and I expect that we will be able to use that approach in other communities. Certainly, we want to look at whether more of these positions can be full-time. The larger centres, I think we need to review that, you know, whether we go to a federal model or the service centres approach.

On Federal Engagement Strategy, we have been following exactly pretty closely what the Member has been saying, where the three territories are going to work together. Then we are going to meet with the Prime Minister as well, and the Prime Minister has reassured us that what the three territories develop will be the foundation for the Arctic Framework. We express our concerns that, to us, the Arctic is the three northern territories. The federal government is also involving Quebec, Newfoundland, Ontario, Manitoba, so they see them as having northern areas as well.

We just have to make sure we do not get lost in that process as well, but the federal government has given us some very good signals that the three territorial governments represent the Arctic in the three territories, so we are pleased with that and we are looking forward to coming up with pan-territorial sustainability and economic strategy. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
