Thank you very much.
Here in the north, we're very different as well. Devolution transfers happened in Yukon over a decade ago. We're ahead as far as land use planning and implementation of our land use planning process. That answers your questions a bit.
Land use planning gives us a certainty. Land use planning allows us to make decisions from a northern perspective when it comes to our resources, and I can tell you it's a great time to be involved in politics in Yukon. This government is committed to getting back on track with modern treaties and with the land use planning process.
Concerning Arctic sovereignty, we've been watching a ban on offshore drilling. These bans affect my counterparts in the Northwest Territories and in Nunavut much more than they do Yukon. As you can imagine, on the one hand, Ottawa has engaged in communications as to how to do the devolution transfer and how to take a look at own-source revenue at the same time. It's the opinion of the other premiers that one of their hands is being held behind their back as they talk about own-source revenues.
This is not so much the case in Yukon, but at the same time we want to make sure that the decisions being made on Arctic issues involve the leadership in the north—the aboriginal leaders as well as the premiers. We want to make sure that the conversations on issues that affect Canadian interests, specifically in the north, take into consideration the unique differences between all the different jurisdictions.
Again, for Yukon, as far as our differences go, I would say that land use planning provides the certainty that industry is looking for. It is also the certainty for our environment, moving forward.
