Merci, Monsieur le President. I want to thank the Minister for that. Of course, perfect is the enemy of good.

But, you know, I understand that the final decision, of course, is going to be made by a federal minister but clearly there's a lot at stake for us, and I know that the federal minister has consulted with our government. I just want to know what our government is saying back.

So can the Minister tell us whether GNWT intends to engage Indigenous governments, the public, and even Regular MLAs with regard to our position on this regional -- this proposed regional study. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
