Thank you.
Mr. Linklater is not part of the Inuvialuit group. But yes, I visited many of the Inuvialuit communities. Between me and my audit team I think we visited all but one of the communities. We did talk with the leadership of the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation. It's part of the methodology we use in the course of all our audits when we audit issues that affect first nations and aboriginal groups. We always make sure we understand the issues from their perspective, even though all our audit work is done for the Government of Canada, in this case the Department of Indian Affairs.
I would agree with Mr. Wernick that the best people to speak for the Inuvialuit would be the Inuvialuit themselves. I would hesitate to speak for them, but I think it would be fair to say that when we talked to them about doing the audit of the government's implementation of their agreement, they were not unhappy we were doing that. They did express some frustration at the length of time it was taking to get the agreement implemented.
