Thanks, Mr. Chair. What I want to do is just read a sentence from a letter received from the Sahtu Secretariat Incorporated. This is a letter dated May 3, 2019:

"Therefore, the SSI maintains that the Sahtu Dene and Metis must have a substantial role in the development of regulations under the bills in a manner consistent with the operation of the working group with respect to the development of the bills. It is not enough for the GNWT to simply consult with the SSI about the draft regulations."

This is the part I really want everybody to pay attention to:

"To that end, the SSI and other Indigenous governments and organizations are developing a proposed agreement for the GNWT with respect to the establishment of a body similar to the working group, that would be activated from time to time to develop the regulations under the bills."

There, we have it in writing. There is something going on already with regard to developing an agreement. That is great. I am very pleased to hear that. I think it goes a little bit further than what I heard the Minister say with regard to how ENR is approaching this, but this is great. All this clause does is provide the Minister with the option, the ability, to enter into that kind of an agreement. It's not mandatory. It does not require the Minister do this. It just says that the Minister would have the option of doing it moving forward. I think this is an honest effort on the part of at least a couple of MLAs, and hopefully more will support this, to encourage the good working relationship that has already been developed moving forward and that people would get into an agreement and figure out how they are going to do this moving forward in developing regulations.

So I think this has been offered in a very constructive fashion. It does not take away from anybody's authority. Nobody is required to do anything. It just gives the Minister the option to continue this good working relationship going forward. Thanks, Mr. Chair.
