I appreciate that answer from the Premier. Mr. Speaker, my second question is: what additional rights would this agreement provide the Inuvialuit?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I also would like to welcome everyone, all the girls from Daughters of the Vote and, in particular, Chukita Elias-Gruben who is my cousin from Tuktoyaktuk. Welcome. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Back to my statement on on-the-land programming for youth, Mr. Speaker, my first question is: what youth on-the-land programs are available to students in the Beaufort Delta? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, as the daylight gets longer and more people go out on the land, on-the-land programming helps ensure that youth are exposed to traditional culture and ways of harvesting and preparing country food. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources' field environmental programs for youth are a valuable part of education in the Northwest Territories. For generations, youth have learned on the land. Now that we no longer rely on traditional skills for survival, we must ensure our vital connection to the land is not lost. ENR delivers a range of programs in...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to table the following document, it’s a letter to the Prime Minister of Canada from the Hamlet of Tuktoyaktuk and the Tuktoyaktuk Community Corporation. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I appreciate the response. Mr. Speaker, my second question is: what is the Government of the Northwest Territories doing to ensure ENR's on-the-land youth programming is a permanent part of NWT students' education?
