The partners change; the role doesn't change. Our job is to align the federal efforts as best as possible. When AANDC is the regulator, as it is in two of the territories, they're the vital partner. In the Yukon, we don't have a federal partner to align, but we have to be cognizant and do our best to make sure that the project proponents are fully informed about their relationships there with the Yukon territorial government.
