[Inuktitut text interpreted as follows:]

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to the witnesses. Your statements are very important to us.

I have a question for both of you. If you would both answer this question, I would appreciate it.

Now, if you were to get self-government, can you go forward even without the land claims settlements...without land?
