Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I can't talk about the past. That's gone. What I can tell you about right now is the Government of Canada, the Tlicho Government, and the Government of Northwest Territories are working together. We're talking about face-to-face, bringing a facilitator. So if they're willing to do that and our Indigenous governments are willing to do this process, why do we as the Government of Northwest Territories need to bring in the dispute mechanism? We don't need to do that unless it's our last resort. So right now, the Government of the Canada, the Tlicho Government, and the Northwest Territories are moving together trying to get this resolved. We are willing to work with them within the system, and that is our last resort. And right now, we've been told by Tlicho, by the Government of Canada, and our officials that we are moving forward. So we are trying to get this resolved in a process that works for everybody. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
