Last year the Sahtu Educational Division sponsored an excellent gathering turnout targeted to the region's youth. This group held career identification through departmental visits, senior personnel presentations, and so on...

Thank you, Minister Cochrane. Mr. Nadli.

Thank you, Mr. Thompson. Minister Cochrane.

Mr. Nadli, could you refer to which page your question was on?

My second question is: will the Minister give us a time frame when this issue can be concluded?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Naats'ihch'oh National Park is named after Naats'ihch'oh Mountain east-west of Tulita, an influential place for the people of Sahtu. It is near the NWT-Yukon border.

So maybe a little explanation on that allowance? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
