That’s correct.

I guess the other way forward we see it is with devolution and with greater use of northern tools to make advances in different land issues. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I’ve already indicated that the public will have unprecedented opportunities to have public engagement on this deal. I personally don’t believe in running government by referendum or by plebiscite. I would not support that.

We will endeavour to do that. Also, our fiscal strategy would allow us a little more flexibility in future years as well. We think this is a very important area, so we’ll take the Member’s counsel and do whatever we can to try to increase this amount. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. We have already hired legislative drafters specifically to provide for the 24 statutes and acts that we have to deal with to make devolution happen. Thank you.

Mr. Chair, sorry, I forgot to mention Tlicho. They are still working on that one as well. Thank you.

We are all elected by the people of the Northwest Territories to do a job and represent our constituents to the best of our ability. By all means we will bring it to this Assembly.

We’ll look at it and see why we weren’t making it public in the first place. So we’ll take it under consideration. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

As I already indicated to MLA Bromley, I don’t agree that’s an accurate assessment. Thank you.

My understanding is that they have 10 years to decide whether they’re going to draw down, and I think they’re probably about two or three years away from the 10 years.
