Yes, the committee, they're the council sits and it's Indigenous leadership. It is a committee of theirs, and we work with that committee. It is not a sub part of, you know, government. It is a climate change council that we work with. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 109)

Yeah, so the mitigation there is very much the federal government's being the lead working with them, and I say when the lead, they've given us a lot of the money that we are dealing with it.

What our biggest challenge is right now is the adaptation. They don't like, they haven't even developed an adaptation national strategy on it. So we're trying to work with them. So we've been able to access money, whether it's from various departments that help with the mediation of this very difficult issue that's impacting us for numerous years. So, yeah, we are there is money there. We're working with...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 109)

They're happy with it. We are actually working with them. We're working at their speed, their capabilities, and what they want to do and what they are trying to achieve. Again, it's you know, if you give them a bulk land, just a whole chunk of it, then you're really not expecting them to do a lot of work to certain areas. So like in the city of Yellowknife, we are looking at very specific areas that the community the city uses and they're looking at taking over. And then as we move on, then bulk land transfers will be moved to their at their speed. So we are relying on theirs. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 108)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I thank the Member for the question. So we've been going on for about two years from as me from being the Minister. There's been constant communication. As I said today, we did have a productive meeting with Cheetah this morning or this afternoon at 12, me and Minister Wawzonek and the Premier. We had a conversation with them. We're getting really close to hopefully coming up with a final agreement. But at the end of the day, we need to make sure that we protect our environment for future residents. It's about our children, our grandchildren, and...
