Before I answer that question, I have to thank the Member for these questions. I appreciate that he's talking to the elders. They are our foundation. I have had the pleasure of just recently meeting the YK Dene elders and having a good conversation with them. I have made a commitment to other Members that, if elders wish, I am more than willing to meet with them. Moving forward, how was this developed? How were the elders engaged? The Tlicho government have meetings; they invite our ENR staff in there. They have that opportunity, they have that exchange, they hear their concerns, and then they are brought forth to us. The other thing that the Member talked about was the Wek'eezhii Renewable Resources Board. They represent the region and also the Tlicho government. We get information from them. We also get information from the chiefs and the grand chief and from the Member as well. I am more than willing to work with elders moving forward.
