Thank you, Mr. Chair. The monies are primarily to set up the foundation for a land use plan in the public land areas of the Wekweeti region, and there is a land use plan there that the Tlicho government have done under private lands, which is different from the other regions that have a land use plan. They did a land use plan for the whole region. The responsibility for paying for the plan is the federal government's, as the legislation comes out of the MVRMA, which is federal legislation. This money we have is to set up an office in Behchoko and have an executive director in Yellowknife. We are setting the stage, working with a partner, with the Tlicho government, and in anticipation of the federal government funding the land use plan, which they have done in every single region that has a plan, including the Deh Cho, who have been at it for about 15 years, and the feds have funded that, primarily. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
