Thank you, Mr. Chair. For the past three or four Assemblies all of the Premiers have had a process with Aboriginal leaders, either a bilateral process, or Northern Leaders’ Forum they called it, where they got together on a regular basis. I think, for this Assembly, with the meeting we had in Dettah, I think that we would talk to each individual Aboriginal government leader to get their ideas on where they think we can go from here. I think that it was a lot of work done on Creating our Future by Premier Roland. We want to see where that could lead to. I really think we need to have a follow-up meeting in Dettah. In the past we have had processes like the Intergovernmental Forum. I know they have that in the Yukon. That seems to work. I don’t know if we can see if there is potential for that here in the Northwest Territories.

There are other processes out there as to how we can work together with Aboriginal governments. I would like to see those explored. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
