I stated it was either we're at the table or we weren't at the table. It's always better to be at the table; at least you get some kind of food.

This is -- and I have faith in the -- I trust in the Indigenous governments when they -- part of the consultation process that they would brought not only the concerns bought by the Member but even more so because they had time to process it; we only get a few minutes. But this is not always the case. This one might be contentious but there is another cross-boundary one that's happening right now as well. I think it's called Aninhan Dun -- that's the pronounciation? Which is actually with the Gwich'in people from the Yukon, and that is one is going really well. The Gwich'in people aren't fighting it. They see themself as families. So the -- we're working on that one. That one's close to being done too, and that one will take some of our -- the west coastline as well, and that one doesn't have the contention that we have with the southeast corner. So there's always -- what I've learned from that process is that it all -- every negotiation table is different. Some will be contentious. They don't see themself as family, and others ones, they seem themself as family and there will be less contention with that.

But what I really want to stress to the Member is that I have emphasized to the Indigenous governments that if it's good for them, then we need to put our claims in as well, that Indigenous governments from the North have to put their claims in for the jurisdictions outside of the NWT as well to be fair. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
