Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So the moratorium on the Western Offshore Ocean was actually called unilaterally by Canada in 2016. At that time, the Premier of the day called a red alert, which caused a lot of contention in the NWT. Since then, we were promised that they would do that Western Arctic Offshore Accord. We've had 24 meetings since April 2019 to May 2022. We were also promised that we'd be able to take part in the five-year science-based review of the moratorium. So we're looking forward to the results of that and hoping that the federal government will sit down with us and talk about their findings in that science-based review. That work is still to be finished, and now we're in the process of signing an accord.

I do want to say, Mr. Speaker, it's important that Canada work with us on this. It's right in our devolution agreement, section 3.2 of the devolution agreement has a commitment for Canada and the Government of the Northwest Territories, with the participation of the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation, to commence negotiations for the management of oil and gas resources in the Beaufort Sea and other northern offshore areas. So it's important that Canada work with us on this work. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
