Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I have said, we are a little over two months into our mandate. We have, I think, managed our time incredibly well. We have managed to set up the basis for a good work relationship with the federal government. We have set the stage for a very good and productive working relationship with the aboriginal leaders and, no doubt, we have tried to maintain a close working relationship with Members of the Caucus. We have not set priorities by ourselves. We have not gone about setting up how to reduce expenditures and that type of thing unilaterally. We have come here presenting an interim appropriation budget based on what we need because we have had no time to look at a well thought out comprehensive approach to reducing expenditures.
I must say that the stage is set. We can work well together if Members wish. We can continue to do that. With respect to the work relationship with the federal government, the outlook is excellent. The relationship with the aboriginal peoples continues to improve and the potential is there. I would say to the Member have faith, remain optimistic, and compliment us on the things we do because I think we are doing well so far. It should produce results through the course of the four years we are here to serve you. Thank you.
