Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In addition, in the Deputy Premier's statement yesterday he stated in the last paragraph of the first page:
This is not to say that other groups involved with this case should not appeal, if they think they have the grounds to do so. The Aboriginal Summit, for example, may have a good legal argument that should be heard by the Court of Appeal. If the summit wishes to take that argument to an appeal court, then the government will support their application to be heard and will assist them with the legal costs.
Also, Mr. Speaker, all the western Members were in a briefing with the Department of Justice yesterday. During that briefing the deputy minister of justice stated not once, but twice, during that briefing that if this Legislative Assembly were to pass legislation for 19 seats it would rule out the ability for the aboriginal governments to appeal the court's decision. Is that not correct, Mr. Premier? Thank you.
