Thanks, Mr. Chair. I can live without the recommendation as it reads, but I think the real issue here is trying to prevent a conflict from happening in the first place. I think it is fair to say that everybody recognizes that the paramountcy of the land rights agreements, and that is recognized in this legislation, as well, but the trick is in ensuring that the resource management, the environmental legislation, that that's brought forward, really incorporates and recognizes the co-management regime that has evolved here in the Northwest Territories. I think that the real issue here is not so much dealing with conflict that may arise. The trick is to avoid the conflict in the first place by careful drafting consideration in building in the co-management bodies, and I think that by necessity means that the co-management bodies need to be at the table and the development of some aspects of these pieces of legislation. They have evolved into very sophisticated bodies. They have their own processes and procedures, lots of great on-the-ground experience that, I think, needs to be captured sometimes by those that are drafting legislation. I think it just brings added value. It is not about slowing down the process, but it is building on what we have already agreed to.
While I can live with the recommendation as drafted, I think the real trick is in preventing that kind of conflict from arising and making sure that co-management is properly incorporated and recognized in the legislation that we do develop through this co-development, co-drafting process. Thanks, Mr. Chair.
