We have the Canada Nunavut co-management board in the east, and in the Northwest Territories we have two major ones, the Inuvialuit and the Gwich'in. Then we have the Sahtu and the Tlicho. The majority of the fisheries management that we do in the west is coordinated through the fisheries joint management committee. So I meet with the committee twice a year, same as I do in the eastern Arctic, but my staff are working with them the same as in the east, on a daily, weekly, basis. We establish our plans and priorities and then throughout the year we do a check-in and see where we are. Each of those bodies prepares annual reports that are presented to the minister for his review and information and comment.
