Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Our government has taken the view that in order to accomplish the fundamental goals we set out for ourselves, we need to partner with aboriginal governments and non-government organizations. With aboriginal governments, partnering to address and conclude discussions on devolution and revenue sharing. We have also said we need a social agenda, and there we have begun a partnership with non-government organizations and again, aboriginal leaders, to work in partnership towards developing a framework for our social agenda.
More than just verbal commitments, we have actually engaged in reaching out and taking on partnerships to work together on reaching some of our goals we have set out. I think it is a good start. It is one that can serve this government beyond the term of this Legislature.
If we set it up right, I think the approach we take with the aboriginal governments in developing a mandate and an approach to negotiating revenue sharing and devolution can continue without any major hiccups beyond the life of this Legislature. That is what we would like to try to do.
The Social Agenda Framework will be delivered by the non-government organizations next month for us to look at. It will be up to us to discuss that, probably in June, and take some concrete measures to address it through our business planning cycle.
I think we are working in the right direction and showing that we are more then just prepared to talk partnerships or prepared to take action. Thank you.
