Merci, Monsieur le President. I want to thank the Minister for that. It would be great to get those service standards on the department's website.

I know of at least two applications which are passing their first-year anniversary pending the outcome of consultations. We know that there's little prospect of these applications being dealt with before any Indigenous land rights agreements for the Yellowknife area's completed. So practically speaking, Mr. Speaker, can the Minister tell us why his department continues to accept recreational lease applications in this area? Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
