Mahsi, Madam Chair. Getting back to the land use planning and the GNWT's intent to create a revised Public Land Act, from what I'm reading here, it says they are going to conduct regional land use planning and coordinate the GNWT input into land use planning processes. It also further states that they will work with external planning partners, including Indigenous governments. I'm wondering if these planning partners that are Indigenous are the ones that signed on to devolution, because there is no mention of consulting with the claimant groups, the Dehcho First Nations or the Akaitcho Treaty 8 people, yet you're going to go ahead and make a Public Land Act and not incorporate or perhaps do your meaningful consultation with these groups, because I believe that Executive and Indigenous Affairs is also looking at that part. They're the ones in charge of negotiations, and you're wanting to do this within three years, to have the Public Land Act. Maybe it's a message that you're hoping to settle all the claims within the three years. Maybe this summer, and then write your new document for two years. You know, it's probably sounding encouraging in that regard, but I'm wondering what your views are, if you've got any type of answers to what I've just been saying. Mahsi.
