Thank you, Madam Chair. I have been part of the implementation of the Salt River claim, and federal negotiators have access to deputy minister in Ottawa to make a decision. We don't have that here. They always have to go back. If you only have two meetings or three meetings a year, you'll never get a claim settled. I am wondering if there is a way that we could expedite some of these claims. When you settle a claim, it's beneficial to the area that the claim is settled. There is always financial input into the community. There are jobs. I am concerned especially with my area, the implementation of the Salt River claim to its fullness, and I am also concerned about the NWT-Metis Nation claim. There is not a lot of movement, and I am concerned about that. Thank you, Madam Chair.
