Thank you, Mr. Speaker. First of all, I'd like to thank the Member for coming to me and talking to me about this. I know it is a very important issue for him, and I thank him for that. I am probably going to run out the clock, but that's all right because I'm the last one talking here today.

To give this answer, it needs to be very clear and provide as much information as I can to the Member and the people of his constituency. The community boundaries, the development controls can be regulated through the Area Development Act. The Area Development Act regulates development on both private and public land in designated development areas. For the Ingraham Trail, development controls and regulations only exist for Cassidy Point and the Yellowknife watershed area. Outside of these areas there are no development control currently in place.

Before we look at fee simple plan sales along the Ingraham Trail, new regulations will need to be developed under the Area Development Act to ensure the land is managed effectively. The development of the land is currently focused on bringing the Public Land Act into force, and we will review the Area Development Act once this has been completed. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
