Public Accounts committee  Yes, I'd be quite happy to table the plan and to provide written update reports at whatever intervals the committee requires.

Public Accounts committee  Yes.

Public Accounts committee  The process of the Mackenzie pipeline review and the response to it has actually been transferred to Mr. Prentice, and the secretariat that was part of INAC is now at Industry Canada. So he will be dealing with it. As alluded to by your question, there are very important parts of it that are INAC responsibilities, because we are still a significant regulator in the north, and we will take a look at the impacts.

Public Accounts committee  Yes. I don't know if this will be helpful to you, Mr. Bevington, but the panel will report on the potential impacts of the pipeline. The National Energy Board will take a licensing decision. The commercial proponents will decide whether the project is economic or not. We will be active participants, as will be other federal departments, in responding to whatever the joint review panel's recommendations are, and we'll certainly be briefing the minister and trying to be very clear about how it impacts not just the Inuvialuit, but all of the aboriginal groups down the corridor.

Public Accounts committee  No. The response that was tabled at the time of the report is our response.

Public Accounts committee  Yes, you could put it that way. We accept the recommendations, and the response was tabled at the time when the chapter was filed.

Public Accounts committee  It's not complete, because we have to get those parties around the table. We will have a working draft of it within the next few weeks, or a couple of months at the outside, and then be field-testing it with people to see whether it's useful. It will probably iterate several times through the course of the year.

Public Accounts committee  Oh, the e-training; I'm sorry. I'm mixing that up.

Public Accounts committee  You have a very sophisticated entrepreneurial group that owns and runs its own businesses, which are as good as any businesses in northern Canada.

Public Accounts committee  I'm not sure we can provide that because of solicitor-client issues, but I will take that up with the Department of Justice.

Public Accounts committee  That would be governed by contracting policy. Roughly $25,000 would be without tendering. There may be some exceptions in some departments for some purposes—emergency contracting. I can find out from Public Works for you, but generally the government-wide rules would apply here.

Public Accounts committee  Thank you for the question. Not at all. In fact, it's diametrically the opposite. The point of reaching land claims settlements is to give the communities the tools for self-reliance so they can take control of their own futures, participate in economic opportunity, participate in development opportunities, and create their own businesses.

Public Accounts committee  Completely.

Public Accounts committee  We have done that.

Public Accounts committee  There isn't one any more--not on my watch.
