Merci, Monsieur le President. During questions for the selection of Premier back on December 16, 2015, MLA McLeod said, "I commit here to meeting with leaders within 45 days and presenting new offers within 90 days." New offers to the NWT Metis Nation and Akaitcho Dene First Nations were made on May 24th and 25th of this year respectively. There was no involvement or consultation with Regular MLAs as part of that process.
He also committed to, "establishing a joint committee of Cabinet and Regular Members to provide oversight and give direction to the negotiating process." This group does not provide oversight and give direction, and has met a total of two times so far. Completion of outstanding land rights agreements should be apriority for our government. What assurance can the Premier give that he will deliver completed land rights agreements by the end of this term, including working more closely with Regular MLAs? Mahsi, Mr. Chair.
