Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Yukon for that great question.
I am very pleased to say that the Nááts'ihch'oh National Park Reserve act was just tabled in the Senate. The creation of this park has been years in the making, involving consultations with communities, aboriginal groups, industry, and the Government of the Northwest Territories.
Our government signed an agreement with the Sahtu Dene as well as the Northwest Territories Metis to ensure that northerners will benefit from the lasting economic, cultural, and social benefits while protecting the habitat.
Tulita will be the gateway to the park, creating jobs, skills, and training for people in the community. I encourage everyone in the House—
