The land use plans are essential to moving ahead with the development of effective and clear regulatory regimes. It is helpful to have the land use plans available. There are currently land use plans for the Gwich'in settlement area and some areas of Nunavut. Draft plans are actively being developed in the Sahtu settlement area and for Nunavut. We are working on an interim Dehcho plan. Lots of work is ongoing with respect to land use planning.
We continue to invest in board capacity, working both to ensure sufficient annual funding and to address related project workload demands as well as offering a variety of training programs. It is a little different in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut to work to build the capacity of the members and officers of the boards.
