Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The relationship we have with the band councils differs somewhat with the relationship we have with municipal councils because band councils are under federal legislation, but when it comes to the working relationship we’re trying to build with them, we’re open to helping with either transition, or, for example, we have a number of communities where the bands deliver the programs and services that municipalities would in other cases, and the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs would be able to sit down with them to go through the working arrangements, the processes that were in place prior to the election. On top of that at the regional level, from the regional leaders’ table, I’ve committed to meet with the regional leaders as well as once a year to sit down with the regional leader and the chiefs of that region. So that’s another avenue we have of building that working relationship.
Again, it’s almost case by case. If the request is made, we would consider where we could be of assistance in the transition area and we’d be prepared to sit down with them at that point. Thank you.
