No.
I would have to look into who would be in charge of the regulatory process on our side. I know for sure it's probably not ITI's department, but it's something I can look into. It's probably the Department of Lands and ENR. I will look into it and get back to the Member.
Mr. Nagel.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Member is right. The site bidder tour, I believe in October, was supposed to take place and it didn't. The federal government maintains the rights for the Canol Heritage Trail. This all came through devolution. They kept the right to facilitate the full remediation of this site, and we are working with the federal government on the transfer of land over to the territorial government to make it into a territorial park. But that won't take place until a remediation has taken place. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Do you want to take it? Go ahead.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. On my left is Paul Guy, deputy minister of Public Works, and on my right is Brian Nagel, director of infrastructure and accommodations.
Mr. Speaker, I wish to table the following document entitled "NWT Mineral Development Strategy: GNWT Implementation Plan, 2014 2019." Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
I'll turn it over to Deputy Minister Guy.
Yes, it was quite exciting actually to see the Deh Cho being a leader in this. As my prior life when I was the Metis president, it's something I strongly believe that we should be doing in the Metis South Slave Region. So getting back to the Member's question, I think developing regional strategies is very important and we need to work on this initiative. Is it going to be part of the land use planning? I believe regionally they want to work on how they're going to move their land use plans for their own self-governments and their own governments and their own regions, but they're going to...
Yes, we can do that.
