This is about trust again. This is about building relationships with our Aboriginal partnerships; with the Tlicho, in this example, because they are the only ones who have a finalized self-government agreement. The relationship that we need to have needs to happen before we even start drawing down programs. At this time the Tlicho has the ability to draw down a number of different program areas and the GNWT currently provides programs in those areas. We need to work with the Tlicho in this program area, to make sure that those programs are meeting the needs of the Tlicho so that when they draw down those authorities, they actually know and had some opportunity to participate in the design of the programs within their region so it's a little easier to roll them in at that particular time.

We're going to have to come up with formula financing agreements so that we can figure out how to fund the different programs that they're going to draw down, to make sure that they have the resources, that we're not shortchanging them and that they have the resources to deliver the programs to a standard that we agreed to. This is all negotiations; this is conversation; this is working together now before we even start drawing down programs, so that they know what the programs are and they're involved in the development of the programs so that they meet their needs. It's about partnerships, Mr. Speaker-elect. Thank you.
