Thank you, Mr. Chair. The big-ticket item that is before this government and aboriginal governments is a desire and a tentative agreement to meet together through the intergovernmental forum to discuss a number of things. One, in my view, is how aboriginal governments and leaders can have input into the direction and priorities that this Legislature has.
I am not sure the aboriginal governments will accept that invitation, but it is one that I have always proposed. The other is that we set up the intergovernmental forum to discuss how to take over the control of our future by creating a better public government and by creating aboriginal governments and making sure they have sufficient land, resources and revenues to build and serve the constituents.
Land claims have to be articulated by the aboriginal groups themselves. I have not been briefed on it recently. I am not the Minister responsible, but I know the type of things that the Yellowknives are immediately faced with are different than those faced by Lutsel'ke, Fort Resolution and Fort Smith.
There are different ideas and processes underway and the first thing to do is make a commitment to sit down and really understand what it is that they are trying to do, what is it that they want and see if there is any way that we can help to create some momentum. If there is an impasse, we will try to break that so everybody feels there is some movement and support for the things they are striving to do. I think that is something that is new. That is what I would do. Thank you.
