In the area of devolution and resource revenue sharing, I’m trying to move that file ahead. I’ve already had two meetings with regional aboriginal leadership to discuss this issue. Of course, different regions are at different stages of their own land claims and self-government discussions. Some aren’t prepared to have that discussion. I think that, as the North, we do have to have a discussion about how we get this and when those benefits would begin to accrue to the Northwest Territories.
As Members are seeing throughout this budget process, we have to make difficult choices with the fiscal environment that we have to live in. Resource revenues flowing to the Government of the Northwest Territories and aboriginal governments in the Northwest Territories would definitely help us in enhancing the level of service we can provide.
