Thank you, Mr. Chair. With all of these agreements, we have three existing transboundary agreements right now, with Alberta, British Columbia, and the Yukon. I will just take you really quickly through them. In terms of Alberta in 2018, the 2016-2017 Alberta-NWT annual implementation report was released, and work is under way for the 2017-2018 report. In British Columbia, in 2018, the NWT and British Columbia released an implementation highlights report that outlines the work completed between 2015 and 2017 towards bilateral implementation. Within the Yukon in 2018, the NWT has been negotiating with the Yukon towards updating our transboundary agreement that was signed in 2002. It is expected that that agreement will be completed within the life of this Assembly. Finally, with Saskatchewan and Nunavut, the division has initiated discussions with Saskatchewan, and right now Saskatchewan is in a legal review, in terms of their agreement. As well, Nunavut, Nunavut has to come up with a water strategy before they can get into negotiations with us. So, once they do that, then we would get into those transboundary agreements with both of those jurisdiction. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
