Thank you, Madam Chair. The planning process in Wek'eezhii, we have undertaken with the Tlicho government and the Government of Canada, all full partners in that process. We agree that Canada is the party responsible to fund land use planning in the NWT, as they have done for the Gwich'in and Sahtu plans. What we are doing through our funding for Wek'eezhii planning is getting the groundwork in place in order for a planning process to take place. We are still looking at Canada to fund that planning process. Our contribution is to prepare for that planning process. This commitment sort of stems from the Land Use and Sustainability Framework, where the GNWT stated that it wishes to promote and support effective land use planning throughout the NWT. This is our part to get the ball rolling for Wek'eezhii planning, but yes, we are looking to Canada to fund the planning process. Thank you, Madam Chair.
