Thank you, Mr. Chair. This is something that has been negotiated with the Aboriginal governments and we’ve also provided regular briefings to the Members. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The answer is no. It will be strictly a function of land management/land administration and how we can work together to improve how we can both look after the lands. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

That’s correct.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We are not planning to do another NWT Days in this fiscal year. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yes, I do, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. I don’t know how many times the Member wants me to assure him. I’ve already told him in a previous line of questioning that we would provide that information, subject to confidentiality requirements. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Those are two separate things. This is the deal with the Aboriginal governments themselves. The Intergovernmental Council is primarily a land administration body with which the federal government is providing up to $3 million for funding it. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I indicated in the previous questionings, this was information that was made public, and as soon as we have an updated list from the Government of Canada, we’ll follow the same procedure. Thank you.

Thank you. I have to recognize that there will be at least five other Aboriginal government partners. So that will be something that we would work out and I’m sure that we would want to be as transparent as possible. Thank you.

In the spirit of devolution, the Government of Canada has been involving us in these discussions on security deposits and the amount for security deposits for the pipelines have not been finalized as we speak and devolution doesn’t occur until April 1, 2014. Thank you.
