Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The MoU that was signed between SSI and ourselves, the Sahtu Secretariat, was intended to formalize the working relationship between parties on the advancement of the Mackenzie Valley Highway through the environmental and regulatory reviews. The MoU provides for the creation of a working group with members of working group to be appointed by the SSI and the Government of the Northwest Territories Department of Infrastructure. Each party to the MoU is responsible for selecting its own members to the working group. SSI is responsible for appointing its own members to the working group, which could include a youth member if they wish, but, in addition, under the MoU, the SSI may also designate other Sahtu organizations to work with Infrastructure to complete the required work on specific topics such as socio-economic studies. The SSI could consider youth issues and youth involvement in selecting these designated organizations and members.
