Thank you, Madam Speaker. Again, we are always open to hearing the viewpoints from aboriginal leaders, from municipal leaders, from all of the leaders in the Territories, so I am always open to new ways of being able to consult. At the same time, we have to respect each other's differences, as well. I have often been to aboriginal leaders' meetings where I am told it is in camera and I am not welcome inside. Just wait outside until they finish the in camera meeting. It works both ways. We wouldn't want to ask the aboriginal governments to include us in their decision-making, and the same thing applies this way as well.

As a public government, we are elected to represent all the people; we have to have some periods where we would not include others in our decision-making. Having said that though, on consultation, on arriving at joint decisions through consultation, through consensus, we are open to doing that and we have done that.

Madam Speaker, I would like to just say, as well, I think a leadership role in bringing for example aboriginal leaders into the Western Premiers meeting when we held it in Inuvik, of being an advocate for getting the aboriginal members to meet with the First Ministers and with the Council of the Federation, all the Premiers, that has been our way of working in the North and we carry it even beyond our boundaries. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
