Mr. Speaker, I would focus on page 2 of the Minister’s statement. The Minister has talked about the goals of the 16th Assembly as “a
strong and independent North built on partnerships.” That’s what I’m asking the Minister here. Are we looking at really meaningful partnerships with these 200 or so participants from all the aboriginal businesses of the Northwest Territories and saying, “Yes, we can build the Mackenzie Valley Highway if we have to or we could”? That’s something that I’d like to look at.
We’re the North, strong and free. Would the Minister have some discussion in terms of how we’d have these discussions or partnerships with the aboriginal people?
