Thank you, Mr. Chair. Land claims are a priority, and self-government is a priority, as well. The land claims will bring prosperity to all governments. It is going to bring pride to Indigenous people, and it is going to bring investor confidence back to the Northwest Territories, which we need.

What I have heard through all of the candidates today, and I really appreciate, is relationship, relationship, relationship. My experience as a Cabinet Member over the past four years with the Indigenous governments was that it was very structured. We would only meet once or twice a year, very structured agendas, no time for free talk. I like to bring it back to myself as a person. If somebody comes to my house and shows up at my door, and says, "I'm here, and I have a reason here. I'm here," I am going to deal with them quite differently than if they come and say, "Let's have a cup of tea and sit down and talk," and then a relationship builds, and you can actually build that trust and talk.

I think it goes beyond just the negotiations. I think it is about building that trust and confidence within Cabinet as a whole with our indigenous governments and how we relate with them, how many meetings we have. Just because agreements say that we will meet twice a year, it is not acceptable that we only do that. We need to go out of our way to build those relationships with our Indigenous governments, and we need to think out of the box.

If we are sending in our departments, and what I am hearing is that they are not working, things are stalled, people aren't building the trust, they are not feeling confident, then, at that time, Ministers and the Premier need to get involved. We need to go sit with them and meet with them, talk to them in frankness, put our concerns on the table, and think outside the box. We are very structured. We are saying, "This is it. These are our offers." Sometimes those offers have to change.

I think that we need to make sure that we are fair to all Indigenous governments. We cannot be giving to one and not giving to all. We have conditions to deal with that, but if we are struck with saying, "This is all we are willing to put on the table," and we have been stuck for so many years, then it is time to bring more to the table. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
