I thank the Member for that question. Good news: the Department of ENR has given $30,000 to the Tlicho Government to help the people in the riding, but it's just not for the Tlicho. We've also done the same thing with the YK Dene, the Lutselk'e Dene, and the North Slave Metis, so we've given $30,000. We found the money thinking outside the box, as the Member asked me yesterday, finding money to help that area. We are willing to get that money out there. Again, I think the Member talked about one thing, and I'd just like to say, for those elders who were missing, I'm more than willing to go on a tour with the Member to meet with these elders. It's educational for me. It helps me. I bring staff here; they get to hear it, as well. Because we need to make informed decisions and that's our traditional and local knowledge, and elders are a perfect avenue for it, so I'm more than willing to work with the Member to attend meetings with him. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
