Thank you, Madam Chair. Our officials have been working with the working group from the Council of Leaders table. We've let them the know timeline that we need, the maximum time -- or the minimum time that they can actually give us an answer to be able to pass legislation in this setting. This -- they're kind of divided at the table, Madam Chair. Some of them are saying like, give us the time it takes, and other ones are saying, yes, let's get it done. So once they decided that, you know, I'm hopeful that we will have something in the term of this Legislative Assembly. But again, I think it's really important to recognize that the United Nations Declaration of Indigenous People is very specific. All over it, it says this is about Indigenous people. This is not about the GNWT defining what it should look like. And I've taken so the beatings in this House, and I will continue to take those beatings because I recognize this is about the Indigenous governments defining what it should look like. Thank you, Madam Chair.
