It was overwhelming testimony about the desire to not get rid of the regional boards.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3566846\" data-originallang=\"en\">He mentioned Chief Harry Deneron. Chief Deneron actually lives in a region where there is no settled land claim. Any regulatory work done in that region is done under the larger board, the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board, not under a regional board. In fact, it was quite clearly identified by almost everyone who dealt with the regulatory system that they wanted to settle the land claims first. They said that it was one of the major components of why they do not have success in the Dehcho region, where Chief Harry Deneron resides. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3566847\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would ask my colleague if he would explain why he is using this example of a chief who is in region that does not have a regional board, that serves under a central board, as the example of why he should get rid of the regional boards.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3566845\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je tiens \u00e0 remercier le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'en face, qui a eu l'occasion d'entendre des t\u00e9moignages \u00e0 Yellowknife devant le comit\u00e9 permanent. Les t\u00e9moins ont fait des d\u00e9clarations tr\u00e8s percutantes dans lesquelles ils ont exprim\u00e9 leur volont\u00e9 de maintenir les offices r\u00e9gionaux.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3566846\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il a parl\u00e9 du chef Harry Deneron, qui habite une r\u00e9gion o\u00f9 aucune revendication territoriale n'a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9gl\u00e9e. Dans cette r\u00e9gion, toutes les questions de r\u00e9glementation rel\u00e8vent d'un office de plus grande envergure, l'Office des terres et des eaux de la vall\u00e9e du Mackenzie, et non pas d'un office r\u00e9gional. En fait, presque tous ceux qui ont fait l'exp\u00e9rience du syst\u00e8me de r\u00e9glementation ont clairement indiqu\u00e9 qu'ils voulaient d'abord r\u00e9gler les revendications territoriales. Ils ont dit que c'\u00e9tait en grande partie la raison pour laquelle leurs tentatives \u00e9chouent dans la r\u00e9gion du Dehcho, o\u00f9 r\u00e9side le chef Harry Deneron.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3566847\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je demanderais au d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'expliquer pourquoi il cite en exemple un chef qui demeure dans une r\u00e9gion qui n'a pas d'office r\u00e9gional, mais qui rel\u00e8ve d'un office central, afin de faire valoir pourquoi on devrait se d\u00e9barrasser des offices r\u00e9gionaux.</p>"
