Thank you, Mr. -- Mr. Chair. So certainly if the agreements are ratified, these trans-boundary groups that will become owners of aboriginal title land will be able to make decisions respecting the lands they owned, and they will be treated as any other land owner when it comes to -- when it comes to development.

When it comes to section 35, you know, certainly any activity that might have an adverse effect on established or asserted Indigenous rights will trigger that obligation to consult and that obligation, frankly, exists now, even in the absence of a -- of a settled agreement because we have real and constructive knowledge that these parties have asserted traditional harvesting rights in the southeast corner of the Northwest Territories. So if there were a development that were proposed there, we would be consulting with them. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
